Available From : In the available from field box, select whether you want this responsibility to be available from Oracle applications or from Oracle Self Service Web Applications or from Oracle mobile Applications.

Data Group : The data group defines the database user name that oracle applications use to connect to the database when you connect to applications using this responsibility.

Menu Name : Enter the menu name that you want to associate with this responsibility.

Web Host Name : If your Web Server resides on a different machine from your database, you must designate the host name (URL) here. Otherwise, the Web Host Name defaults to the current database host server.

Web Agent Name : Enter the PL/SQL Agent Name for the database used by this responsibility. If you do not specify an Agent Name, the responsibility defaults to the agent name current at log-on.
