Hello guys.

As the title talk it all. Does any one know what logic that BC will use to display a field in a page if that field is customized by Profile and Personalization?

I have do some tests. Some field that will display with the lastest modify. Example: field A on purchase Order is on the midle of list. I move it to 1st column by customized it through Profile => field A will display at 1st poisition in Purchase Order. Then if i move field A to last poisition in purchase order by customized it through personalization it will display in the last poisition. But some field i move field A to 1st poisition from Profile but it don't display on 1st poisition, it only display on 1st poisition if i use Personalization to move it to 1st poisition. Some field i hide in Personalization but it does't hide. it must be hide in Profile.

So can any one tell me what logic that BC use to display a field when this field is modify by Profile and Personalization?

Thanks

Thank for your information.

"If you Personalize in an already customized Profile, Personalization will have a higher priority than Profile". I did some test and it does not work like this.

Some field work like this: If you Personalize in an already customized Profile, the page will display like Personalization, after that, if you customized that page in Profile (Role), the page will display as Profile (Role). If you Personalize a page again, it will display like personalization again. It depend on what customize you do last.

But some fields does not work like above. Some flowfields like dimension only work with Personalization. And some fields only work if you customized it in Profile, and i really don't know what kind of that field.

Can you show me the logic?

First of all, the Customize function of Profile is only valid for Role, and you should have just tested a certain user. If you clear the Personalization of the changed user, the Customize part of Profile will take effect.
If you Personalize in an already customized Profile, Personalization will have a higher priority than Profile. However, this will become invalid after switching users and roles.

In addition, starting from BC23, Profile has functions that cannot be realized in Personalization:
