Row Action: Edit Page / Alternate Page / Form

This action is part of a Row Action Widget

This Row Action serves multiple purposes and can be used to link to any other page, including drill down pages, edit pages, and forms. The links can be opened in the full browser window or in a Light Box or pop-up window.  

General Settings

 

It is important to note, that the settings on the first screen of the wizard change based on the selections made. For example, if you select to open a Light Box, the Auto Close and Window Close Custom JS options will be shown. This is described in more detail below

Note, if you are showing the external URL in a Light Box, the URL must contain HTTPS WorkFlow Page Link to any workflow page Form Link to any Form.   Use this option when you want to submit NEW records.

Auto Close Window	If you selected "Light Box Overlay" in the link type,  and are linking to a Form or an Edit Page, set this option to true to automatically close the window when the form is submitted.

 

Linking to a Form

When linking to a form, a couple of additional buttons will be available.  

 

 

URL Params

The URL Params button will open a window where you can map values from the current record/row to fields on your form.  This will pre-populate the form with the records details.

 

Static Params

The Static Params button allows you to pass static values into the form to pre-populate fields on the form.

 

Linking to an Alternate Data Page

When you link to an alternate data page, you can pass through any of the values of the current record to that page to automatically drill down into that data set. For example, if you were displaying a list of customers, you could link to the Order's Data Page and pass the customerID value in to filter the Order's by the current customers.

 

URL Params

The URL Params button will open a window where you can map values from the current record/row to drill down into the data page you are linking to.

 

Static Params

Define additional criteria to use when drilling down / filtering the destination Data Page.

 

Refresh Settings

 

Property	Description
Refresh Data Table Only  New!Bootstrap	Set this to true to reload the dataset without refreshing the entire page. This is usually the best option unless you have a specific reason to reload the entire page (which will be slower)
Refresh Entire Page	Set this to true to reload the entire page.
Advanced Refresh Settings	Click the Advanced Settings button to load the Advanced Refresh Settings window.  These settings allow you to target where the refresh will be done and also to target individual DOM elements by ID to refresh. This can be useful if you are using trigger actions with bindings to recalculate total dollar values and need to update specific DOM elements with the results. These settings can also be useful if you are executing actions within a drill down p age and need to target the parent page after an update is performed.    Property< Description Refresh Target Select if the current page is being refreshed, the parent page (when called from an embedded page), or "top" to refresh all pages. Partial Refresh ID List When 'Refresh Entire Page" is false, this option allows you to enter a comma separated list of DOM ID's that should be updated with new values    The fields above are provided in duplicate  to enable you to trigger re-draws across multiple pages.

Property	Description
Use Boot Strap   New!Bootstrap	If you are using the BootStrap theme, you can select to use the BootStrap Style Modal Window. This window style works really well when opening forms that are also styled with a Boot Strap Theme.   With this option selected, the Content Settings section will also be displayed with additional formatting options.

Auto Optimize Content   New!Bootstrap	When using the Bootstrap style window,   the content (form or workflow page) loaded into the modal window is optimized. For forms, this means the heading element (applies  to Bootstrap themed forms only) is hidden and the margins are adjusted. When linking to a workflow page, the headers and menus and padding are all adjusted so the page fits cleanly within the new window.
Auto Optimize Form Buttons   New!Bootstrap	When linking directly to a form, and using the Bootstrap style window, this setting will remove the form's submit button and/or next and back buttons (on a multipage form) and nest them in the windows footer.
