Special Rights |
The Special Rights tab enables you to define and display special access rights for user groups, including access to data and clearance to meter bypass or override rules, as well as the ability to customize screens, and mass-open PM orders. Authority is granted or denied for users to perform special functions
Tip: To limit the display of information in the grid and maximize performance, use the filter. You can sort on user group ID, screen rights template ID, control rights template ID, location access template ID, department access template ID, and report access template ID.
User group ID
Unique identifier of the user group currently selected in the grid or that you are defining. The user group description displays to the right. This field is display only.
Data in the fields in the bottom section of this tab define special access rights for the user group. All fields are optional.
System administrator rights
If this field has a check, users in this user group may modify the UI (user interface) and grant screen access rights to specific user groups.
Note: When users with system administrator rights access a screen, the Modify UI Information or Edit buttons in the toolbar are active, indicating that they can use Administrator mode.
Save customized screen grid formats
If this field has a check, users in this user group can use the Preferences -> States -> Grid Columns -> Save command to save customized screen grid formats.
Accept meter for transaction purposes only
If this field has a check, users in this user group may specify NO EQ UPD in meter validation fields. The NO EQ UPD process causes the system to perform meter validation and accept the meter reading as the meter reading for the equipment unit at the time activity was performed. The reading is not used to determine the unit's incremental meter usage, however, as it is no longer current.
Tip: For more information, go to screens that specify meter validation.
Update latest meter reading for unit
If this field has a check, users in this user group may specify EQ UPD in meter validation fields. This process prevents the system from performing meter validation. It accepts and records meter readings as the new current meter readings, and is used to determine the unit's incremental meter usage.
Tip: For more information, go to screens that specify meter validation.
Automatically open PM orders
If this field has a check, users in this user group can access the Open PM orders for all units listed field on either of the Data -> Equipment Management -> Equipment Due for Service/Inspection screens (by Equipment or by Location).
Override work order work class
If this field has a check, users in this user group may change the work class that defaults on a new work order.
Do not allow reopen of work orders
If this field has a check, users in this user group cannot reopen closed work orders.
Note: The Work Orders - Options tab on the Data -> Setup -> Organization Structure -> Locations -> Primary Information screen has an option to allow closed work orders at a specific location to be reopened. The setting on that tab takes precedence. It enforces the overall business rule.
Grant access to data only for authorized location IDs
If this field has a check, location-level access control is activated for the users in this user group. On certain screens, users can only access information for items that are assigned to locations to which they have access rights. If this restriction is on effect, it must apply to all groups assigned to that user ID.
If this field is left blank, location-level access control for the users in this user group is disabled. Users can view and modify data without regard to location ID restrictions.
Tip: Location rights for user groups are defined on the Location Rights Template screen.
Grant access to data only for authorized department IDs
If this field has a check, department-level access control is activated for the users in this user group. On certain screens, users can only access information for items that are assigned to departments to which they have access rights.
If this field is left blank, department-level access control for the users in this user group is disabled. Users can view and modify data without regard to department ID restrictions.
Tip: Department rights for user groups are defined on the Department Rights Template screen.
Number of work order posting rows to display initially
Indicates the default number of work order posting rows to display initially when users perform a Get Data on the Work Order Center and Work Order–Short Form screens.
For existing user groups, the default setting is 5; five rows will display initially in the Labor, Parts, and Commercial tabs for the posted transaction group.
For new user groups, the default setting is 0; no rows will display initially in the Labor, Parts, and Commercial tabs for the posted transaction group.
Allow update of delays related to signed off trips
If this field has a check, the users in this user group may modify trip delay incidents that have been signed off by the dispatcher.
Note: This checkbox displays only if the Operations module is active.
Track user GPS location when available
If this field has a check, the GPS location of the users in this group can be tracked when available. This can be used to determine if the user's last known position tab will update the latitude and longitude.
