Button – Landing page options

For the "No action", "Save" and "Delete" actions of a button, you can set how the target page should be opened here.

Open target in current window

Opens the target page in the currently opened window.

Open target in main window

Opens the target page in the main window.

Open as tooltip

Opens the target page as a tooltip. The following settings can also be made here:

• Open at mouseover

  The target page will be shown as a tooltip as soon as the user moves the mouse over the link/button.

• Open modal

  This setting is not available if the "Open on mouseover" setting is selected.

  A modally opened dialog disables the rest of the application as long as it is being displayed. This means that users can only interact with application elements within the modal dialog but not with elements outside the dialog.

• Show page title

  The page title is shown in the title bar of the tooltip in the browser. Use drag & drop to move the tooltip via the page title. This is not possible without the page title.

• Show close symbol

  A symbol will be shown in the upper right-hand corner of the tooltip, allowing the tooltip to be closed.

• Configure tooltip positioning

  Clicking this button opens a dialog that allows you to set the position of the tooltip on the page.

• Show confirm dialog when closing the tooltip

  

  With this setting, the message shown above is displayed when a tooltip page is to be closed via the close icon at the top right and there are entries in input or text fields. This helps prevent data from being lost unintentionally. So that this setting functions correctly, the elements to be checked may not be in the hidden area. They should also not be write-protected. This option is not available for the Show/Hide flexible action.

Open in grouping (embedded tooltip)

With this setting, the tooltip will open in a grouping on the current page; this can be selected beneath this setting. The grouping has to use the HTML element "DIV". If a different HTML element, apart from div, is used in a group that will be the target container for a tooltip, a notification will appear. Furthermore, the area “Notifications” lists the elements for which this grouping is setup as a target container. From here, you can navigate to the triggering elements by double-clicking.

Create new grouping

Creates a new, empty grouping.

Restore grouping content when closing the tooltip

When displaying a tooltip in a new grouping, the tooltip will take up the entire container. Content, which was already there, will be overwritten in this way. The setting "Restore grouping content when closing the tooltip" means that the original content will be shown again, when the tooltip is closed. If this option is not selected, the grouping will remain empty.

Print view

Use this setting to print the page via the browser. For this, the target page must be loaded in a popup window. The "Print view" setting has no effect for pages in the main window.

The layout of the print view can be influenced with custom styles. Click here for more information.

Within tooltip window

These settings are relevant if the page, where the destination options are defined, is displayed in a tooltip.

Close tooltip

Closes the current page when the button is clicked on.

Reload window

The target page can be reloaded with this setting.

Delete / Save at link destination

If the target page is opened in a popup or a tooltip, you may define which area of the page, which the target page will be loaded from, should be refreshed. After the Save / Delete action is performed, the entire page (or just the table) can be refreshed. If the button is located within a free layout table, then this free layout table can be reloaded as well. After the Save / Delete action is performed, the entire page (or just the table) can be refreshed.

Configure tooltip positioning

For the button actions "Save", "Delete" and "No action", the position where the corresponding tooltip should be shown can be configured in the target page options, and the button action "Show-Hide-Flexible".

Positioning

Use default settings

Depending on the other settings (e.g. a modally opened tooltip), the previously used positioning will be applied. With the standard setting, the tooltip will, for example, always orientate itself to the button clicked on.

Position at browser window

If this setting is selected, the tooltip will orientate itself to the browser window. Click on the graphic below this setting to determine the position of the tooltip relative to the browser window.

Fix tooltip position

With this setting, the tooltip stays at the assigned window position and does not scroll with the page's content.

Open at element

You can select an element here at which the tooltip should be opened.

Positioning

Here, the element will be symbolized with a border and green dots. The greyed-out areas around the dots correspond to the later position of the tooltip. In the positioning schema, click on the position where the tooltip should be opened.

Offset X / Y

An additional offset from the element can be specified in pixels here. Offset X offsets the tooltip horizontally and Offset Y vertically.

Examples

In the following figure, you will see a few examples of how the positioning (without offset) will be implemented in the browser.

View

Tooltip height / width

The height and width of the tooltip can be defined in pixels or as a percentage based on the window height/width.

Style class

Here, one of the style classes defined for tooltips in the "Design" module can be selected. By selecting "Default style class", the default style class for tooltips will be used.

Close automatically

The tooltip will be closed automatically after the specified time.

After ... milliseconds

The length of time is specified in milliseconds here.
