Swapping out Ostendo functions for others

Swapping out Ostendo functions for others

From time to time you may wish to stop users from accessing specific functions within Ostendo and rather swap that function out with another. An example of this might be if we had a user called 'GENERAL' who when they press the Items option, instead of running the Items screen, Ostendo will automatically run an Inquiry.

To acheive this, simply follow these steps below:

 

1) Create a System Action Style Script to run from the 'Inventory;Items'. Ensure you select 'All Users'

2) Copy the Code beloiw into this script

begin

  if (CURRENTUSER = 'GENERAL') then

   begin
    OstendoInquiry('Multi Inquiry - Item Information');
    abort;
   end
end.

 

Now when the GENERAL user select the Items option in Ostendo, it will automatically run the Multi Inquiry - Item Information
