The Item Placement Tool can be accessed in the following ways:
- Ctrl + double-click on a field which should be edited.
- Right-click, select the tab with the beas Usability Package Icon "Setup Overview". This will display all available Item Placement Tool configurations.
Choose the Item Placement Tool configuration you would like to work on by double-clicking on the line, or by highlighting the line and clicking on the edit button.
The window to be edited should not be closed while being edited in the Item Placement Tool.
The field to be edited is marked with a "frame" and is highlighted in the Item Placement Tool (line 4 in this example) and the details of this field are displayed to the right of it.
The window to be edited is displayed with a yellow background which indicates that it is in "edit mode" (See image above)
If a setting is changed in the Item Placement Tool this is immediately visible in the original window. Unfortunately, an automatic preview is not possible. To create the correct result, click "Refresh window". In the original window the default color is displayed and can be edited and checked normally.
When clicking on the Item Placement Tool window, it will automatically come into focus and the original window automatically returns to "edit mode".
Move Field
Change the mode to "edit mode" (yellow background) in order to move a field.
Click on the corresponding field and hold the left mouse button.
Drag the field to the desired position while holding down the left mouse key. If the field is to be positioned below an already existing field, simply drag the field into the existing field and it will automatically be positioned below. You can add and edit an extensive list of properties of a given field in the right window section of the Item placement configuration window.
User Defined Fields (UDF)
Unlike in SAP Business One it is not possible to define one's own UDF's in Beas. However, in most windows UDF1 to UDF4 of the type: "string" are available, furthermore also UDF5 to UDF15 e.g. in Bill of Materials, work plan, article version, and many others.
Special feature UDF1 .. UDF4
These are defined in the setup wizard and are immediately active and correctly positioned in all corresponding windows.
UDF1-4 are area-related and not window-related e.g. Routing Position: These are relevant for "Routing Catalog", "Routing" (List and edit window), Work order routing plan (List and edit window), as well as Precalculation. Formatting and definition of further properties is done directly via the setup wizard and also stored in the setup wizard. Definition of user dependencies is not possible.
Example: Configuration Wizard > Bill of Materials > Definition UDF1–4
Utilization UDF 5–15
If UDF 5 to UDF 15 are available in a window, they can be added via the Item Placement Tool.
These are always of the type "String" but their properties can always be changed in the field "Format" to the types Decimal or Date. However, they are always saved as a string.
A UDF is added in the following way:
1. Click on "Line Add"
2. Select the corresponding UDF from the field "Element". This can be named UDF5 or <tablename>_UDF5, e.g. BEAS_STL_HEADER_UDF5
3. Select Type "Column"
4. Select "Title" and "Format"
5. Click on "Rebuild"
6. The field is now at the top left. It can now be moved with the mouse to the correct position
7. Define and save other properties
Using template fields
In some windows Templatefield1 .... Templatefieldx are available. These sometimes have different lengths and types. These fields are not linked to the database and can be used for a wide variety of purposes.
They can be integrated in the same way as UDF fields.
However, loading and saving must be defined individually. This can be done via Validation Configuration – Event: select "Form Load" / "Form Add" / "Form Updated" from the drop-down.
User-Dependent Definition
There can be more than one configuration, e.g. user-dependent go to: User
All configurations that fall under the user rule and are active are always considered here.
If more than one definition exist, they must be opened via Right-click – beas Usability Package – Integration Icon – Setup Overview. Here more definitions can be made or existing ones can be changed.
