Configure Column Status for a Scenario Role Task

For a scenario > role > task combination a Designer can specify columns to disable, enable, or hide on a particular task page to manage exceptions for a scenario > role > task combination that might otherwise require adding a new role.

Before performing this task, the design process must be complete and a task must be defined in the Content WebApp. Refer to MDM Design Process Overview for more information.

The default settings for a column are based on the framework settings. If no setting is defined in the framework, the database defaults are used. Columns are defaulted to Enabled in the database. If a column is nullable in the database, it defaults to not required.

Changing the column status on this page does not overwrite the default settings established in the framework. Column variants can be set up to configure the control status default for records with columns that meet certain conditions. Refer to Activate and Configure Column Variants for more information.

NOTE: If, in the Content WebApp, a page can be updated through links on other pages, it is possible that the page is in multiple tasks for the same scenario > role combination. So, if a column setting is changed for one task, that column is updated in all tasks in which it is used in a scenario > role combination for all column variants. Refer to Add a Task for more information about tasks and Activate and Configure Column Variants for more information about column variants.

  1. Select Master Data Management >  Design in the Navigation pane.

  6. To update the default value for one or more columns, select the columns, and then click the Enable Selected Columns, Disable Selected Columns, or Hide Selected Columns icon as needed to update the CONTROL STATUS list box.

    Values are:

    Disabled – Column displays but is not editable.
