Does anyone know how to make a new application customization, that way if something gets messed up you can just deactivate the customization or change it.
I have a big change I need to implement, but I don’t know how it will impact our MES side of things and I would like to play it safe by making it as easy as turn on or off if needed. Or copy, make changed, if changes cause issue, delete the application and no harm is done… I know this is possible, I just don’t know/remember how it is done. I remember seeing it done a few times… but don’t remember how they did it.
In developer mode, choose the current Customization that you want to modify.
After the Form loads, enter customization mode (Tools->Customize)
From the customization window choose “Save As…” And save it as a new Customization name (pay attention to the “All companies” setting)
Close the customization window, and the form.
Relaunch the form, and the Customization you just “Saved As” should show.
fwiw - I Always add the customization ID to the forms title bar Part Maintenance becomes Part Maintenance (PM_03)
Maybe you will know the answer to another question I have. If I make a modification to an application, will that modification translate over to the MES application or do you have to make the modification to both platforms? Does that make sense?
