Master Recipes

What you can do here
Phases
Release primary
Asks for confirmation: Release this recipe? Refused if it has no phases, or if a critical phase records nothing — a critical phase with no parameters cannot be reviewed afterwards. Any earlier released version of the same recipe is superseded.
The rules that apply here
Everything on this screen obeys the platform rules rather than rules of its own. The ones worth knowing before you use it:
- Narrowing a list — search, conditions, sort, totals, export and saved views.
- What may be changed — the five grounds a record may not be edited on.
- Companies and business units — what the switcher above this list is doing to it.
- Creating a record — required fields, where choices come from, and how the number is allocated.
- Importing a spreadsheet — this screen accepts one, and it runs through the same rules as typing.
