With 14.28 the SDX 'About' window now has a Company field that's required for certain templates (the new template for loading a Schedule of Values, for instance). I work with about 28 different companies and it's a pain to have to go change the company value in the SDX About screen every time I need to load this template to a different company. It would be fantastic to be able to put ALL in the Company field of the About screen to authorize loading this template into any/all companies, especially when we already have template and company access specified on the SDX User's Authorization ID. SDX is a huge timesaver in my environment and this extra added step slows us down a bit again, which is frustrating.
Please allow company 'ALL' in the SDX 'About' window.

There is a disconnect here. The Company Code is used to authenticate you as a user. It does not control which companies you can work with. You only need to enter one company that you have security for...then based on your setup, you have access to all companies you have security for in Data Exchange Installation.
Again, you do NOT need to change the company code to work with multiple companies in Spectrum. It is all controlled by the Auth ID and the companies it has access to.
