How to create Workbooks in SEI in Sage X3

By | August 1, 2023

Workbooks are powerful tools that allow you to manipulate and analyse data in a variety of ways. One of the ways that workbooks can be made even more powerful is through the use of global variables and global selection page variables.

Selection pages are a powerful tool in workbooks that can be used for more than just filtering data. In addition to their filtering capabilities, selection pages can also be used as a function within workbooks. By using global variables and global selection page variables, you can create functions that take advantage of the data contained within your selection pages. This allows you to create dynamic and flexible workbooks that can adapt to changing data and user needs.

Follow the below steps to create a Workbook:

  1. Right-click in an empty space in the Workbooks tab and select New Workbook.

2. In the New Workbook dialogue box, select the required authorizations and options.
