SWORD View Levels & Status Fields

 

 

CAUTION: This feature should only be used by a System Manager.

 

The SWORD database file contains a numeric field called [View Level] in each record.  The [View Level] is used to filter the display for each user and to show the progress of a Service Order in the database.  You can use up to 100 different [View Levels] in SWORD. The following Table shows the default SWORD [View Levels] and should not be modified:
