Batch Find Box versus Batch Find Button

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

Sorry, I'm not a GP user, just the database guy who inherited GP duties, like adding users, etc.

I set up a new user. For this user, a window displays different from what other users see.

The window is Payables Batch IDs (from the Payables Batch Entry window, clicking the Lookup icon for the Batch ID field). 

The new user has a Find button in the Actions section of the toolbar. Clicking that pops up a little Find dialog.

The other users have a Find box directly above the Batch ID info grid. They don't need to click anything.

I can't figure out why this is different for one user and I don't see anywhere that it can be customized or changed.

All users but one see this:

One user sees this:

Thank you,

    When you look in the User Security window for this user and the other users, what do they have listed for the 'Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports ID'?

    If they are different, it may be that the other users have access to a custom or alternate/third-party version of the window and that is why it looks different.

    Usually, the window will look like your top image, that the new user is seeing.

    It doesn't appear to be due to a change to the menu like we can do via the User Preferences window, so my thoughts is that it is a modified or custom/third-party version of the window.

    Thanks

    Thank you. I had already run a report for the Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports IDs for both users (one that worked and the one that did not) and they were identical.

    But when I went to the User Security (as you suggested) for the affected user, I noticed that I had selected the wrong ID in the Alternate/Modified Forms & Reports field.

    Thank you so much for your help.
