When in E1 you open an application (it doesn't matter which), is there a way to determine that application form's "dependencies"?
What I mean by this is what are the other E1 applications that are invoked when a user clicks on a form or row exit, or clicks a button on a form, or uses the Visual Assist tool for a field? There may be other use cases I've missed.
The reason I'm asking is that we have set up a set of security roles for our users at our company and we have taken the approach of deny-all and then grant back what is needed. We had an external company perform an analysis of our needs and they identified many applications that we added to a "default" role that all other roles inherit security settings from. We then added all the security settings for the applications and reports that actually use in the course of their work.
I just encountered a case today, however, that was most unexpected. I was testing a problem a user had and just by chance, selected the visual assist for a field on the application form I was in. I immediately got a "not authorized" message. Well, that's odd. It's just the visual assist look-up function for a field on the form. Why would this be denied?
