Buttons Pane

The Buttons pane allows the selection of the type of button displayed on the Policy screen.  The functionality in this pane is the same as the Button pane detailed in the segments section of this document. Refer to the Buttons Pane for more information.

 

The following buttons are supported on the Policy screen.

 

The Allocation, Values, Activity and Withholding buttons are configured through the Button pane on the Policy screen business rule in the Global Explorer.  The Save, Inquiry and Add Activity buttons will only become visible on the Policy screen if OIPA Security is set for them through the Admin Explorer.  

 

 

Note:  The Save, Inquiry and Add Activity buttons are dependent on Security and also what has been entered for the policy. The SecurityGroup has three buttons for PolicyScreen.  If all of these buttons are checked in the SecurityGroup, then before the Policy screen is saved in OIPA, only the Save button is present.  Once it has been saved, then the InquiryScreen button is present.  The AddActivity button is present after the segment is calculated.
