You use this activity to view and change system rule settings.

System rules define the overall guidelines by which the system operates. This includes the level of detail for tracking various shop floor metrics such as production and machine time.

Levels

System rules give you the flexibility to place these controls at several levels in the system. You can set system rules at three different levels as follows:

  • Global

    Defined for all sites in a single installation

  • Site

    Defined at a specific site overriding the global settings for this site only

  • Object

    Defined for specific objects overriding the site and global settings

See also: Rule Overrides

Example Example

  1. Log on to the system using the * (global) site.

    Note that the system creates the global site automatically during the installation.

  2. In the Activity Manager, choose System Rule Maintenance.

  3. On the System Rule Maintenance screen, in the Site Value column, enter the new values for the rules you want to change.

  4. If you want to prevent users from changing this setting at the site level, make sure that the checkbox in the Overridable column is deselected.

  5. Save your entries.

End of the example.
