Button – Link destination
In the link destination, for example, the actions "No action", "Save" and "Delete" determine whether a page is opened when a user clicks on the button and, if so, which page is opened.
Link
In this drop-down list, you can select that the button should jump "To a page of an application", if the action type “Save” or “Delete” has been chosen. If the action type “No action” is selected, the following options are available:
-
No jump
This setting can be used, for example, if a button performs a JavaScript but should not perform another action or load a page.
-
Back
Jumps back to the previously loaded page.
-
To an application page
Loads the corresponding page.
-
To URL
Jumps to the URL specified in the "Destination" field below the drop-down list.
-
To the start page of the portal
Loads the portal's start page (cannot be selected for the "Button" button type).
-
To the Plugin page
If the jump target is set from a calendar element, the page where the calendar plugin is defined can be opened here.
Link destination
The page that should be opened is automatically entered into this field when you click on it in the application structure depicted beneath.
Application
Here select the application that contains the destination page.
Create new record
This setting can be activated for pages that perform a jump to edit pages. In this case, the edit page will be loaded with empty fields and without data so that the user can create a new data record.
Link to existing data record
This option can be used, for example, to open an existing data set contained in view tables.
Link destination for view table, freeform table and diagram
A link destination can also be set for
-
buttons and data fields included in a column in a view table
-
Data records in a freeform table, if the setting "Entry is link" is enabled here
-
clicks on points in charts
The link destination determines which page is opened to display the data record when a user clicks on the button or on a data record in the freeform table in the browser.
Set "Entry is link" for the freeform table if a link is should be executed when a data record is clicked on.
Also set "Entry is link" for data fields included in view tables so that the entries function as text links.
