Global Settings (All) MOD009ABF
Access
- Customizer → Master Data → Global Settings
- Customizer → Module Customizer → Modules → Global Settings
Information
- In the Global Settings module, customizing objects are stored/managed
- which can, e.g., be used in different Python macros and/or value ranges (like modules, OLEs, etc.) to ensure that they can easily be interchanged system-wide.
- the settings of which (in the case of parameters) are to apply system-wide.
- In the module, global settings are grouped in thematically suitable categories. Within the thematic categories the settings are displayed subdivided by class (object category).
Caution
- The global settings contained in the PLANTA standard system must not be deleted.
- in the Edit Global Settings module you can delete settings you defined yourself by simply marking and deleting them.
Categories and Classes
Information
- The global settings are grouped in thematically suitable categories.
Within the categories, the global settings in this module are subdivided by so called so-called classes.
- Module ID
- Module variant ID
- OLE object
- Parameter
- Startup module ID
- Search results
- Template
- Dialog message ID
- Symbol ID
- In the Global Settings (All) module, the settings of all categories and classes are listed and can be edited by users with customizer rights.
- The parameters of the following categories are also contained in separate Global Settings modules of the respective areas of application which can also be edited without customizer rights:
Classes: Module ID, Dialog message ID, OLE object, Parameters, Startup module ID
Information
- The following procedure exemplifies how to store a module ID in the global settings. The procedure for other classes is the same.
Store ID in Global Settings
- Select Insert → Global Settings from the context menu.
- The Edit Global Settings dialog module will be opened.
- Allocate a name in the Name field.
- Define a Python ID in the Python ID field.
- Enter the module ID in the Alpha (120) field.
- Select the requested class in the Class listbox, here "module ID".
- Select the required project from the Category listbox.
- If required, fill other fields.
- Save.
Read ID from the global setting
#Auslesen einer Modul-ID
from ppms.global_setting import get_global_setting_value
module_id = get_global_setting_value(python_id='', attribute='alpha120')
Details
- The
global_setting Python module
is imported in order to be able to use theget_global_setting_value()
method.
Notes
- Python IDs must be usable as Python literals. They must not contain blanks, umlauts, special characters, etc.
- Python IDs must be defined uniquely in the global settings.
- Individual Python IDs must start with an L and the license number.
- Example: L100_pr_datasheet
- If the customizer does not set this manually, the system will set it automatically.
Classes: Module variant ID, Restrict filter results
Information
- The following procedure exemplifies how to store a module variant ID with its corresponding module ID in the Global Settings.
Store IDs in Global settings
- Select Insert → Global Settings from the context menu.
- The Edit Global Settings dialog module will be opened.
- Allocate a name in the Name field.
- Define a Python ID in the Python ID field.
- Enter the module ID in the Alpha (120) field.
- Enter the module variant ID in the Parameter Alpha (120) field.
- Select the requested class from the Class listbox, here "Module variant ID".
- Select the required project from the Category listbox.
- If required, fill other fields.
- Save.

Class: Template
Store template code in Global Settings
- Select Insert → Global Settings from the context menu.
- The Edit Global Settings dialog module will be opened.
- Allocate a name in the Name field.
- Define a Python ID in the Python ID field.
- Select the requested class in the Class listbox, here "Template”.
- Select the required project from the Category listbox.
- If required, fill other fields.
- Save.
- Refresh the module.
- Click on in the new global setting in order to open the Edit Global Settings dialog module.
- Store the template in the Template code parameter.
- Save.
