The definition level is used to characterized the deepest level of detail possible to associate a value for each parameter. If, in a given context, no value exists at the defined level, ascend up successive levels until a value is found. It is therefore possible to define a default value for the levels above the bottom level of the definition, in order to only manage the specific cases of the lowest level.
The definition levels possible, defined by the local menu 987, are, in descending order :
- Folder: a single global value is then defined for all the folder.
- Legislation :a value is defined by legislation. This supposes that in the parameter usage context, a current legislation can be defined (it is carried out in practice by means of the current company in the usage context).
- Company : a value is defined by company. This supposes that in the parameter usage context, a current company can be defined.
- Site: a value is defined by site. This supposes that in the parameter usage context, a site can be defined.
- User : a value for each user (and defined at the time of the connection, remembering that if it does not exist, a search is mad for the value associated by default with the user for the module to which the parameter is attached).
