Resource Target

The Resource Target (RSRCTRGT) reference page is used to define each unique instance of a system resource that will be the target of a business role. Each system resource must also be defined as an Application Page (APGS) record first. Additions to the Application Page reference page are rare. Much of the information for a resource target will default from the Application Page record. A target can have the same name or changed to a different name so that a user can quickly determine to use the resource or not.

Please note that a resource target is independent of a business role, business process, and business activity, which allows a target to be shared across multiple roles or even multiple times within a single role, and be defined only once. Note: The Enterprise Search Lite Indexer job must be run after changes are made to this page.

Field InformationField Information

Field Name	Description
Resource Target ID	A unique identification of a resource target for system use. Business Activity IDs less than 500000 are reserved for delivered and sample resource targets. This ID is not displayed online. Numbering is controlled by a Unique Numbering record of R_RSRC_TRGT.
Resource ID	A unique identification of a resource target for configuration purposes. Using the Page Code from the Application Page record is often used as the initial Resource ID, but can be amended or changed if desired.
Resource Name	A required long descriptive name of a resource target. This value is displayed to users in the primary navigation menu and used in the tiles of a business process landing page.
Resource Short Name	A required short descriptive name of a resource target. When multiple resource targets have the same name, it is helpful to use this field or the Internal Resource Description field to clearly differentiate the records.
Resource Description	A required lengthy description of a resource target that is intended to convey to a user that the resource is the correct one for their task and provide an amount of helpful information in the use of the resource. This information will appear on demand for each resource target card on a business process landing page.
Internal Resource Description	An optional lengthy descriptive field to capture any type of internal information for subsequent business role administrators about a resource target.
Active	An indication that can be used to prevent the display of a resource target within all associated business roles without deleting that association. This feature allows the retention of ‘future use’ resources.
Resource Type	An indication of what type of resource target is being defined. This determines the icon shown when using the Global Search. Of the values, only Transaction, Page (i.e. reference page), and Inquiries are used currently. The other values will become supported in future releases.
Initial Page Mode	When opening a resource target from any of the navigation components (discussed in the Overview section), this mode determines how the page is presented. Valid values include: Add – This mode does not apply to inquiry pages. It can be used with reference pages where data is constantly being added so the user is presented with the ‘create record’ page. Transactions are the resource most commonly found with this setting as it transitions not to the Transaction Catalog but the Create Transaction page. Browse – This mode takes you to the reference page, inquiry page, or Transaction Catalog with the filter section opened but no recent or pinned searches will be presented. Query - This mode also opens with the filter section visible, and the recent searches section is visible.
Application Name	A field set from the Application Page record for system use.
Where Clause	An optional where clause to have the page open with an initial search performed. Use plain text only, as formatted text can cause SQL errors. Filter using database table columns only. Note: The Where Clause that applies to initial load of the Resource Target is not applicable to inquiries that join multiple data sources and includes operations such as summarizing data and functional sorting. Examples of pages that do not support this feature including Employee Pay Rate History (QRTE), Time Transaction Catalog (QTRS), Employee Transaction Catalog (EMPCATLG), Vendor Transaction History (VTH), Deposit Search (DEPSRCH), Trial Balance Inquiry (TBAL), and Shopper (SHOP).
Order By	An optional order by clause to have the page open with data pre-sorted. Order using database table columns only. Note: The Order By that applies to initial load of the Resource Target is not applicable to inquiries that join multiple data sources and includes operations such as summarizing data and functional sorting. Examples of pages that do not support this feature including Employee Pay Rate History (QRTE), Time Transaction Catalog (QTRS), Employee Transaction Catalog (EMPCATLG), Vendor Transaction History (VTH), Deposit Search (DEPSRCH), Trial Balance Inquiry (TBAL), and Shopper (SHOP).
Target View	An optional field that can reduce the amount of a page that displays to a user accessing the resource (for example, the middle tab of a three-tab page). A view is collection of components (sections, cards, components, fields, and so on) that show data in a particular cohesive manner.
Parent Business Activities	A system-maintained field that lists each Business Activity ID and Business Activity Name that a resource target is associated with for informational purposes in the event, a modification to the target is being considered and the impact of that change needs to be known. Updates to this field are made when adding associations on the Business Role Association page.
