[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-455?page=comments#action_12450587 ] Adrian Crum commented on OFBIZ-455: -----------------------------------
The context would filter out the ones that the user interacts with. Let's say an organization has 10 warehouses and 30 facilities. User Joe Schmoe is only responsible for working with 2 warehouses and one facility. By setting up a context for Joe Schmoe, the UI could present the subset of data he is responsible for, instead of the whole organization. One of OFBiz's strengths is the ability to scale and support huge organizations. One of OFBiz's weaknesses is the ability to scale and support huge organizations. At some point, the amount of data presented to the user gets overwhelming. All we're suggesting in this issue is a system to allow an application to present the user with subsets of data. How it is used depends on the developers. > Selecting active organization party > ----------------------------------- > > Key: OFBIZ-455 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-455 > Project: OFBiz (The Open for Business Project) > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Eriks Dobelis > Attachments: orgContext.diff, selectingOrganizationalContext.jpg > > > Idea is to provide possibility to select active organization party id, which > then could be used: > 1) to provide default in different components (e.g. in creating invoices, > payments, accounting transactions, etc.); > 2) in implementation of OFBIZ-118, i.e. to show or hide data based on the > active organization; > 3) to improve current Accounting/Companies/Admin so that organizationPartyId > is remembered throughout the session (if not changed). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
