Custom Form - Prompt for Password?

Thanks Jose. Think maybe this is a bit beyond my capabilities as I am still not sure where exactly I should put the code, and also I am trying to authenticate the Employee and not the User :/

OK, I know this is not how we should use Vantage properly but have to ask! We have one log-on for our Despatch team and they each have individual Employee ID's for entering Kanban Receipts. All good!

BUT we want one person to be able to use the Quantity Adjustment screen but none of the other users... is this best done by customising the form? Or would a BPM work? Any pointers on the code - I've tried searching but can't find anything :( We're on Vantage 8.03.409a - Thanks.
Do you mean "none of the other users" as all but the Dispatchers or everyone including the OTHER dispatchers then the one current Dispatcher? If all but dispatcher, then that is a good example for using the Security Ids. That will eliminate everyone not in a group.

This might be a two part issue if it is the latter. Using the Security ID to block all non-Dispatchers, then code to block out the other dispatchers. A quick thought of how to do it would be to set a parameter in some table when the first Dispatcher comes in. Check that value when everyone comes in ( which would only be the Dispatcher since the Security ID blocks everyone else) and if it is set then pop up a pretty little message saying that they lose and close the window for them, else set the value. Then obviously you would set the value back before you close the window.

This is just my thought, but I am sure the intelligent guys have some cool trick.

We have actually implemented something on Inspection Processing to identify the inspector. We are using MES stations and MES does not record who performed the inspection, just the name of the MES station...

You need a combo box on the inventory adjustment screen that must be populated to actually perform the transaction where they select the user and it triggers a BPM. My BPM calls a BPM form where they enter their passcode. It confirms that the passcode matches the UD field on the employee table where I store their code. I have customized the BPM form to display the entry field in pass code ******* style.

Now, this works in Epicor 9.05.606B but I don't know what version you are using and whether these tools are available so YMMV.

Do you mean "none of the other users" as all but the Dispatchers or everyone including the OTHER dispatchers then the one current Dispatcher? If all but dispatcher, then that is a good example for using the Security Ids. That will eliminate everyone not in a group.

Finally got back round to this after being dragged onto other projects and have tried customising with a Password against the employee but Qty Adjustment has no 'spare fields' for me to validate against.

Also as we are on Vantage 8 there is no option in the BPM for an input box.

Is it possible to force a password onto a form customisation? Any further advice appreciated!

Kind of it a bit complex

But you can put a Before Method call (like before Update)

Where you write (by hand) a Form which has Username: Password: fields then
you use the Session to authenticate and you keep a List of Users (possibly
by Group Security) which can do QTY Adjustments if authentiation is
successfull and the userid provided is in your list allow them to proceed.
Otherwise, cancel the request.

Maybe it's just been too much of a long day but it's how / where to authenticate I can't get my head round... am I missing something really obvious?!

Was wondering about having custom form that upon loading asks for a Password (which could be coded into the form customisation?) and adding this form to the relevant menu? Or am I trying to simplify something that can't be done?

Thank you.
