Normally when a user adds a new GL account in the Account Maintenance Window (Cards->Financial->Account) there is a dialog box that pops up if there is a new segment value being added. The dialog box says "A new segment will be created. Do you want to enter a description for this segment?" If you answer yes then you can add a name that will be included in all new accounts that use the same segment value. The dialog box has a check box that says "Do not display this message again".
One of my users checked the Do Not Display box and then could not add a new segment name when adding a new GL account. She had to go through Tools->Setup->Financial->Segment to add the name. She asked me to bring back the new segment name box in the Account Maintenance Window. I could not find any built in way to bring that box back but I did find that if I changed a flag in the SY01401 table for that company and that user the new segment name box came back to life.
This may be common knowledge but it was new to me and I thought it might be worth putting out there.
