What
can Omni Menu do that I cannot do through Setup >> Company >> Palettes?
Discounting that fact that the Omni Menu user interface is much more
powerful and easier to use, Omni Menu will allow the editing of the
Great Plains
Toolbar and will allow the editing of palettes from Third party products (as long as they
follow the standards). Omni Menu can display nested palettes (ie. a palette which
opens another palette) in its "By Toolbar" view.
|
Note:
Omni Menu for Version
8.00 only edits
the User Defined Palettes provided by Omni Palettes as
palettes have been replaced by menus.

How
can I add a window from System Series to a Palette or Toolbar?
Unlike the standard Great Plains palette editor, Omni
Menu can be used to add a window belonging to the System Series to any
palette or toolbar.
|
 |
What
standards must a Third party developer follow for their palettes to work with Omni Menu?
For Omni Menu to be able to edit a Third party palette it must be able to
identify the palette form from the Palette series in the Third party dictionary,
and find the palette entries in the SY_Palette_MSTR table.
|
 |
How
do I get a Third Party palette to work if they have followed the
standards?
You must find the existing Third party palette entries
under By Dictionary >> Great Plains main product.
They will be shown as
Unknown palettes. You can then use the Attach button to
associate these palette entries with the actual Third Party palette's
form.
|
 |
Why
must I Attach a Third Party palette?
Due to a additional Product ID field not be in the
SY_Palette_MSTR table, it is not possible to identify automatically
which entries in the table are associated with which Third Party
palette form. You can create this relationship in Omni Menu
using the Attach feature. Once the association is created it is
used by Omni Menu and Omni
Security to access the palette via the "By Toolbar"
view.
|
 |
All
my Third Party palettes show the same entries, why?
You have not attached the palettes and so all your
palettes are being entered with the same Palette ID of 0. You
must Attach the Third Party palettes to show the existing entries and
not add the entries again manually.
