Weekly Dynamic: Windows in Advanced Security

Richard from FMT Consultants was kind enough to point this tip out in the newsgroup but I thought that I would elaborate.

When using Advanced Security, sometimes you want to see what window you are adjusting rights to. Well, it's pretty easy but first you need to turn the feature on.

1. Open Advanced Security (Tools->Setup->System->Advanced Security).
2. Click Options.
3. Check the "Double-Click to Open Window, or Report

Now when you double click on a window or report the item will open so you can see what you're setting security for.
For example, drill down on By Menu, Transactions, Financial, General (Transaction Entry). Double Click on General (Transaction Entry) and the Transaction Entry window will open.
This feature was available in 8.0 and is present in 9.0 (I don't know which version it was added in so try yours. Maybe someone can enlighten me.)
