Catalog Folder Details

The Catalog Folder Details page allows you to create/modify a folder that appears within the Batch Catalog. Each item must have a Catalog Label, which is then displayed on the Batch Catalog. A Resource ID can also be assigned to the selected folder. The parent folder’s Resource ID is defaulted to this field; however, it can be changed to a different value or the field can contain a blank value. The Folder's Resource ID is carried down to all of its subsets which include folders, chains, individual jobs, and individual reports within the folder. Note: If entered, the Resource ID must be valid on the Application Resources table with a Resource Type of Job.

The Item Parameters section allows you to add parameters with a default value that can then be inferred to child jobs within the folder that use the same parameter. When scheduling a job that exists within the selected folder, if a valid value does not exist for the parameter at the job level, then Advantage will infer the value of the parameter from the "closest" parent folder that includes the same parameter. The parameter value can be changed when scheduling a job, if the Override check box is selected for the parameter on this page.

Note: This page is accessed by selecting Edit for an entry on the Setup Batch Job page, where the Item Type is Folder and the Catalog Label is not Batch Catalog.
