The Global PINT maintenance function allows the user to set the ‘global’ translation of commonly used field ‘labels’ that will then be applicable across the entire system. The ‘global’ fields that can be maintained are fixed within the system.
The Global PINT functionality is accessible from the System Maintenance module main form when the user logs into System maintenance using the special PINT login (see: 3.1).
To access the Global PINT maintenance function the user must “right mouse” click on the title bar of the window (as shown below) and select the ‘Global PINT Settings’ option form the menu as shown.
When the user clicks on the Global PINT Setting option they will be prompted with the maintenance window that allows them to select the required PINT file. This file can be the same as one that has been used in Company maintenance or a different file just to be used for Global PINT settings
The user can then also set the ‘user preferred text’ for each of the pre-determined ‘nominal text’ fields as shown. The system will then replace the “Nominal Text” with the preferred text on every window/form/label it finds throughout the whole Zavanti ERP Application in all modules. In a multi-lingual environment, the Global PINT settings should not generally be used.
The user only needs to enter ‘User Preferred text’ for those that need to be changed within the system. In this example, we see that the system will replace the word ‘Debtor’ with ‘Client’ throughout the system, in every module and every screen.

Please note that Global PINT settings are overwritten if the user applies different PINT setting to individual forms/windows.
