Use one of the following methods to select a panel to customize:

• To select a panel, in the Customizer Selection window, double-click the module, task, and panel to customize. In the Customizer Panel Selection window, click the Create a New Customized Panel option and select the user and company that the customization will apply to. Click OK.  

• To select a previously customized panel, in the Customizer Selection window, double-click the [Customized Panels] folder. Select the module, task, and panel to customize for the desired user and company.

On the Customizer Toolbar, click the Add External Link button. On the panel, click and drag to position the button that will be used to activate the external link. On the External Link Definition Link Settings tab, in the Type field, select DDE. Click Script Editor.

Edit a script for applicable link types. For a DDE script, enter any number of lines of DDE messages. For a multimedia or image link control, you can enter a single-line script that results in the name of the file to play or display. For a program link control, you can enter a single line that results in a valid DOS/Windows command line.

Scripts can contain references to data from panel controls. References to panel data are enclosed in brackets [ ] or braces { }. Anything inside of the brackets or braces is evaluated at the time of execution and the content is replaced by actual data values.

The type of script that can be entered depends on the link type selected for the control.

Warning This process requires a thorough understanding of DDE standards. Contact a qualified Sage business partner for assistance with editing scripts.

Note  Enclose expressions making data references in either brackets [ ] or braces { }. Use brackets [ ] to enclose the data in quotation marks.
