Process of extending the Overview console
You can add columns to, or extend the Overview console. Also, you can add information from additional request forms. When extending the Overview console to include additional requests, you might need to perform additional customizations to complete the process.
Important
If you are upgrading from a customized ARDBC Overview console implementation of the Overview console, the existing overlaid z2TH_ConsolidateTable1 table will still be configured to use the SHR:ARDBC_OverviewConsole form. The steps contained in this section can be used to prepare the database union structure in the back end, and after that is complete, the table can be reconfigured to use the SHR:Union_OverviewConsole form to complete the implementation.
For adding columns or custom records to the Overview console, see:
Configuration forms used when extending the Overview console
The Overview console configuration forms are available only to users with Administrator permissions and must be opened by using the direct URL through Mid Tier.
Form name | Purpose |
|---|---|
SHR:Union_DataSource_UsedBy | Define the implementation area. |
SHR:Union_DataSource_Forms | Define the source data forms. |
SHR:Union_DataSource_Fields | Define the union fields that appear in the AR View Form. |
SHR:Union_DataSource_FieldMappings | Define how the source fields map to the union fields. |
SHR:Union_ConfigurationConsole | View the configuration and build or rebuild the database union structure. |
SHR:Union_OverviewConsole | View form that points to the union view within the database. |
If you are including a selection field that will contain different enumerated values across the various source forms or request types, you must create a consolidated list of the values. For more information, see Adding requests to existing Overview console columns.
For example, the following table shows how to map the Status Values (Field ID 7) from different request forms to the ConsolidatedStatus field, which is displayed on the Overview console:
Source form | Enumerated values with their ID |
|---|---|
HPD:Help Desk | New (0) |
PBM:Problem Investigation | Draft (0) |
CHG:Infrastructure Change | Draft (0) |
XYZ:CustomForm | New (0) |
The following list shows the consolidated status values that match the enumerated values shown in the preceding table:
- Draft (1000)
- Under Review (3000)
- New (6000)
- Request For Authorization (7000)
- Assigned (8000)
- Request For Change (9000)
- Planning In Progress (10000)
- Scheduled For Review (11000)
- Scheduled For Approval (12000)
- Scheduled (14000)
- Implementation In Progress (15000)
- Under Investigation (17000)
- In Progress (18000)
- Pending (19000)
- Resolved (25000)
- Completed (27000)
- Rejected (28000)
- Closed (32000)
- Cancelled (33000)
- Custom Status A (90001)
- Custom Status B (90003)
- Custom Status C (90005)
Important
If a value already exists in the ConsolidatedStatus field, you do not need to add it again. If you are adding the custom values to the field, use odd-numbered IDs to reduce the chance of interfering with subsequent upgrades, which use even-numbered IDs.
