10.8.4 Changing the executable jobs (Customize Job Menu)

By specifying the application menu display/hide settings, you can change the jobs that can be executed depending on the user role. You can also rename job menus.

To assign jobs by user role, start from the Customize Job Menu window, which is displayed by clicking the Customize Job Menu job menu. The following figure shows the Customize Job Menu window.

This window uses a separate page to display the job menus and settings that are available to each user role.

(1) Changing the executable jobs

You use this job to change the jobs assigned to a user role. Note that this job of assigning jobs cannot be performed by any user other than the administrator.

The following describes how to assign jobs according to user role based on an example that changes the settings so that only the administrator can execute Group and User.

To change the settings so that only the administrator can execute New Device:

  1. Click the User tab.
    The window for assigning user jobs appears.
  2. Clear the Show check box in Group and User.
    Group and User disappears from the preview area.
    Note
    At this point, the change has not been applied to the Asset Information Manager Subset database. If you now select another job menu or you exit the Web browser, the change is discarded.
  3. Click the Update button.
    For a user with the user role, the Group and User job menu is no longer displayed in the window.
    To make the Group and User job menu available again, select the Show check box.

If the Show check box for an entire job menu, such as Device Management, is cleared, all the job menu items belonging to that menu will be hidden.

(2) Renaming a job menu

This section describes the procedure for renaming a job menu using an example of renaming Device Management to Hardware Management.

To rename the job menu Device Management to Hardware Management:

  1. Click the Device Management link under Job name.
    The dialog box for renaming a job appears as shown below:

    Figure 10-80 Dialog box for renaming a job

    [Figure]

  2. In Job name, enter Hardware Management, and then click the OK button.
    The job name in the left-hand preview area changes from Device Management to Hardware Management.
    Note
    At this point, the change has not been applied to the Asset Information Manager Subset database. If you now select another job menu or you exit the Web browser, the change is discarded.
  3. Click the Update button.
    The change is applied to the Asset Information Manager Subset database and the job menu is changed.

If a job menu is renamed, the change is also applied to all other user roles.

Note
If you change the name of a job menu, the window name used in each job remains unchanged. To change a window name, use the job menu Customize Managed Items. For details about how to change the names of windows, see 10.8.2(4) Changing the names and view/hide settings for buttons and tabs.
