Environments

The Environments screen lists, for each user and each role, the JDE environments they are entitled to sign on to. One line per (User or Role, Environment). The screen drives the environment picker JDE shows at sign-on.

Maintain the production / test / development / conference-room assignments here, in one grid, instead of opening the JDE User Environment Revisions form for every account.

Goal of the view​

For each user or role:

  • The sign-on list. Each row says: this user / role is entitled to sign on to this environment, with this display order. JDE uses the list to populate the environment picker at sign-on.
  • Inheritance-aware. The Is parent indicator turns green when the row applies to a role that is the source of an inheritance — meaning the environment list is propagated to other users via Role Relationships.
  • Bulk-loadable. When a new environment is added to the JDE estate, the new assignments can be uploaded from Excel rather than typed account by account.

Columns​

ColumnSourceWhat it tells you
User / RoleLLUSER — JDE identifier.The user or the role the environment applies to.
EnvironmentLLLL — environment code.The JDE environment (PD910, PY910, DV910, CRP910, …).
SequenceLLSEQ — display order.Order in which environments appear in the JDE sign-on picker.
MenuLLMNI — initial menu. Hidden by default.The JDE menu the user lands on after sign-on for this environment.
Is parentIS_PARENT — Y / N. Green dot when Y.Y when the user / role is the source of at least one role relationship — the environment list is inherited by downstream users.

Edit dialog​

Click Add in the toolbar to declare a new environment assignment, or double-click a row to edit. The dialog is a single form.

FieldWhat to enter
User / RoleThe user or role the assignment is for. Mandatory.
EnvironmentThe JDE environment code — the lookup is filtered by the selected user / role. Mandatory.
SequenceDisplay order on the sign-on screen. Lower number first.

The Initial menu and the Is parent indicator are kept on the row but are not editable from the dialog — they are derived attributes.

Tips & best practices​

  • Set the Sequence deliberately. The first environment in the list is the JDE default — pick PD910 for an end user and DV910 for a developer.
  • Attach the environments on the role, not on each user. When a user inherits from a role (see Role Relationships), they automatically pick up the role's environments — much easier to maintain.
  • A Is parent green dot signals an environment list that propagates to many downstream users. Edits to that row affect everyone who inherits — review the impact before saving.
  • Use the Excel upload when adding a brand-new environment (e.g. a new test environment for a roll-out) — generate the assignments offline and import in one go.
