Documenting Parameter Settings in Each Module

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I am having trouble finding a feasible way to document our current setup parameters for each module. Essentially what I want is ALL fields and their values from each form under "Setup." Of course, I would like to avoid typing in every field and every value in Excel. I would like to populate these lists somewhat automatically.

I understand that in these setup forms, the fields and their values are pulled from various (often multiple) parameters tables. For instance, "Accts payable parameters" may include fields from the tables VendParameters and PurchParameters.  Clearly, all the information I want is contained in the parameters setup form. The corresponding form object in the AOT contains the exact fields that I want, but do not know a way of pulling it directly to a document (Excel would be great).

Note: for clarity in the documentation, I really want to extract the field label and not just the name of the field - e.g. "Default Settlement Type for Credit Note" and not "CreditNoteSettlementType."

    What we have done is, just copy paste the parameter form description from Technet (first two coloumns), then add additional columns (one for each company) to capture the values

    This was the one and only piece of advice I found in other forums/blog posts. It frustrates me though, because we have customized forms. It means I will spend hours looking through which of Technet's fields are right, and which ones are missing.

    I am very frustrated because I am dealing with a database! This information should be readily accessible/exportable, yet my only option is to record my configurations manually?

    Hi MKXCL, you can also consider Configuration Manager which is part of LCS.  Refer technet.microsoft.com/.../dn765129.aspx
