The Features.xml File
Each feature is
represented in the Features.xml file by a Feature
element
with a number of Access
subelements. (For an example, see the following
code.)
<Feature Name="Branch">
<Access ScreenID="GL201500"
CacheName="PX.Objects.GL.Ledger"
FieldName="DefBranchID" />
<Access ScreenID="GL101010" />
<Access FieldClass="BRANCH"/>
</Feature>
For all custom features you are implementing, you should create a new Features.xml file of the same structure that contains information about all new features.
Targets for Rules
By using the Access
element, you can set up rules for the following
items:
- A specific page, as shown in the following
example.
<Access ScreenID="AP506500" />
- All pages whose identifiers start with the provided value; see the following code
line.
<Access ScreenID="IN" />
- A specific data field on a page, as shown
below.
<Access ScreenID="GL201500" CacheName="PX.Objects.GL.Ledger" FieldName="PostInterCompany" />
- Data fields having a specific field class. (See the following
example.)
<Access FieldClass="BRANCH"/>
To apply this rule to a field, you should specify the name of the field class in the PXUIField attribute added to the field definition in the data access class, as follows.
[PXUIField(DisplayName = "Active", FieldClass="BRANCH")] public bool? Active{ get; set; }
- A specific action on a page, as demonstrated in the following code
line.
<Access ScreenID="AR303000" ActionName="NewSalesOrder"/>
- A user role, as the following example
shows.
<Access Role="Consultant"/>
