Define Merge Actions for Field Process and Procedure Help Properties

Use the Process and Procedure Help page in the Field Properties window to define whether or not to overwrite process and procedure help options.

Good to know:

• You can only configure separate merge actions for individual Business Object Fields and Field properties if the Business Object is set to Merge in the Business Object Properties window (mApp page). If the Business Object is set to any other option, or if Include in mApp is cleared, then you cannot configure separate merge actions for individual Field properties.
• If you do not see the Process and Procedure Help page, close the mApp Solution (after saving) and go to Settings>Edit System Settings. Click the Help page, and then check Show Process and Terminology Help. Refer to Configure Global Help Settings for more information.
• For more information about defining process and procedure help properties, refer to Define Process and Procedure Help Properties for a Field.

To define merge actions for Field process and procedure help properties:

1. Add a Business Object to a mApp Solution using the Add Business Object to mApp wizard.
2. Open the Field Properties window for a Field in the Business Object you just added to the mApp Solution:
   1. In the Object Manager within the mApp Editor, click the Edit Business Object task in the Structure area.

      The Business Object Editor opens, displaying the list of Fields with a mApp Action column to show the merge actions selected for the Fields in the Add Business Object to mApp wizard (either Overwrite or Do Not Overwrite. The mApp Action column is blank for Fields set to Do Not Overwrite). If you set the Business Object to Merge in the Business Object Properties window (mApp Solutions page), then the selections made in the Defaults section (Default Behavior for Fields drop-down menu) are also reflected in the mApp Action column.

      Tip: You can also click the Edit Business Object button on the mApp Editor toolbar to open the Business Object Editor.

   2. Click a Field, and then click the Field Properties button.
3. Set the individual Field to Merge:
   1. Click the mApp page, and then check Include in mApp.
   2. In the Options area, click Import to Target System.
   3. From the If Already Present drop-down menu, select Merge as the merge action for the Field.
4. Click the Process and Procedure Help page.

   

5. Click the mApp Solution button , and then select a merge action:
   • Do Not Overwrite Process and Procedure Options: Select this option to leave the Field's process and procedure help properties unchanged in the target system when the mApp Solution is applied.
   • Overwrite Process and Procedure Options: Select this option to overwrite the Field's process and procedure help properties in the target system when the mApp Solution is applied.

6. Select OK.

7. Prepare the mApp Solution for Distribution (File>Prepare mApp for distribution), or save the mApp Solution (File>Save mApp to Disk) to continue making other changes.
