Although officially listed as an Infrastructure table, the Application Parameter table is one that is part of general system configuration. Options on this table are set once and do not vary by year, fund, department, transaction, or other factors. The table is very generic in its design so that it can host many different types of options with the Parameter Name and Parameter Value fields. Of the controls on this table, those listed below directly relate to the Grantor area. Each is discussed in other topics in this user guide where functionality is detailed that uses the application parameter. Note: Any changes to records in this table should be followed by a bounce of all servers used for CGI Advantage Financial.
