[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-455?page=comments#action_12450778 ] Adrian Crum commented on OFBIZ-455: -----------------------------------
Si, What we're proposing is a SYSTEM to allow components to control subsets of data. How the system is implemented in each component is up to the developer working on that component. It's similar to security services - you have permissions and permission groups. How those are used in the component is up to the component's designer. Jacopo, Thank you for the illustration - that helps. It's not just for big companies - we're a small business and we use the feature here. Eriks, After having this discussion, I've decided that my current implementation is too limited. In my implementation I was trying not to create any new entities, so I just used entities that are already there. Now I can see that I'll need one or two new entities to make this feature universally usable. Bottom line is, my current code won't be of much use. In order to get any of this going, we need to be able to persist the user's current selection. I'm trying to get a User Preferences service going in the OFBiz Dev mailing list.. I hope to have that implemented soon. Then I can move on to this issue. In the meantime, maybe someone could work on a way to have a global "on/off" setting for this feature and then use it to control the display of the drop down list. > 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
