Overview

The UDMG Business Services feature allows you to organize your data into groups of related information.

You can create Business Services that represent your organization and assign individual records of different record types to each Business Service. You can then sort and filter the lists of these record types based on the Business Service.

For example, you may want to place all records of different record types related to accounting in a Business Service named Accounting.

You also can take advantage of Business Services when you set up security by assigning permissions to user groups for access to the records that are members of the related Business Service.

Record Types for Business Services

You can assign any record of the following record types to one or more Business Services:

Business Service Membership Considerations for Create, Read, Update, Delete

When creating or updating a record, use the Business Services tab to select one or more Business Services for that record. This, in effect, assigns the record to that Business Service.

You cannot perform an operation (Read, Write, or Delete) on a record that is a member of a Business Service if you do not have permission defined for that record type that includes that operation and Business Service membership.

Create

When creating a record, the user must have Write permission that applies to the Business Service that the record is becoming a member of; otherwise, the operation is prohibited. If no Business Service is provided during the creation, then the default is Generic and the user must have Write permission for it.

Read

When reading/viewing a record (e.g., a list or record Details), the user only needs Read permission for one of the Business Services that the record is a member of.

Update

When updating a record, the user must have Write permission for both the original record and the updated record.

As long as an update does not change the Business Service memberships of a record, the user only needs Update permission for one of the Business Services that the record is a member of.

If the update is adding or removing Business Service membership, further security constraints apply:

For any added Business Service, the user must have Write permission for the modified record that applies explicitly for the Business Service being added.
For any removed Business Service, the user must have Write permission for the original record that applies explicitly for the Business Service being removed.

Delete

When deleting a record that is a member of one or more Business Services, the user must have Delete permission that applies for each Business Service the record is a member of; otherwise, the operation is prohibited.
