Configuring Section Signals for Call Sampling
Ensure initial configuration is complete before enabling this functionality.
To add a section signal to the Samples and Promotional Items section:
- Select the appropriate page layout on the Call2_vod object.
- Select the Properties icon for the section containing the zvod_Samples_vod field.
- Add the section signal at the end of the section label—for example, “Samples and Promotional Items --ns”.
Multiple section signals can be added to one section header, one after another. When multiple section signals are added, the effects compound. For example, “Samples and Promotional Items --ns --np” suppresses both samples and promotional items from being displayed.
- Save the changes to the page layout.
The signals themselves do not display in the user interface. If translating the section header text, remember to include the appropriate section signals in the translation.
