Technical description

The preferences are stored in a table with a combination of User ID and a code that represents the setting. The settings are handled in functions that are the members of the function.

EXIT(NOT MiniUserRemovedInstructions.GET(USERID,GetGettingStartedCode));

If a user wants to disable a feature, the DisableInstruction function can be used:

DisableInstruction(InstrCode : Code[20])
IF NOT MiniUserRemovedInstructions.GET(USERID,InstrCode) THEN BEGIN
  MiniUserRemovedInstructions.INIT;
  MiniUserRemovedInstructions."User ID" := USERID;
  MiniUserRemovedInstructions."Instruction Code" := InstrCode;
  MiniUserRemovedInstructions.INSERT;
END;
