Defining web service prompts

Define web service prompts representing web services and fields rendered on the user-defined screen using the Web Services Prompt Engine. System administrators can use web services to create user-defined screens for use within EAM. Web service prompts contain the definitions for these screens.

The following rules apply to forms for which web service prompts are available:

  • The functions of all system-delivered EAM List View and Record View pages are shown.
  • BSCOMM (Comments) is displayed.
  • No user-created screens are available.

All screens meeting the above criteria are shown if a web service has not been specified; otherwise, only screens related to the web service will be displayed.

  1. Select Administration > Web Service Prompt Engine > Web Service Prompts.
  2. Click New Record.
  3. Specify this information:
    Web Service Prompt
    Specify a unique code for the web service prompt, and then enter a description of the prompt in the adjacent field.
    Out of Service
    Select to indicate the web service prompt is out of service.
  4. Click Save Record.
    Note: A screen record whose code and description correspond with the web service prompt is automatically created. The user-defined screen can now be placed into the menu for one or more user groups. These new screens are not visible on the Screens form.
