Add a New Function

You can add new functions to applications that you have developed.

The AVEVA Batch Management Security System includes a standard set of appropriate functions for each AVEVA Batch Management System application. Each function has a pre-defined ID and name. The ID is used whenever a security clearance request is sent to the Security Manager. You cannot change the default function ID and name. If you alter the ID or name information, an error message appears.

Note: When you design a new function, make sure to use the same application ID when you make security clearance requests through the Security API.
