Define Parameters
Parameters can be defined in many different places. You can find more information here.
The dialog box used to create and edit parameters essentially has the same structure.
The left pane of the dialog displays all previously defined parameters, fallback values, and semantic values. If a parameter has fallback or semantic values, they are displayed indented below the parameter. When creating a fallback or semantic value, select the parameter for which it is to be created. The right side of the dialog box displays details about the parameters, fallback values, or semantic values currently selected on the left side.
New
Opens a submenu where you can choose whether to create a parameter, a fallback value, or a semantic value.
Delete
Deletes the currently selected parameter, fallback, or semantic value from the list. Parameters required by the destination page cannot be deleted. User-defined parameters can be deleted.
Move up / down
Changes the order of parameters, fallback values, or semantic values.
Parameters for Application Pages
If you access this dialog from an entry or view page, this is where you define what information the entry or view page needs in order to display the data in its entirety. For pages, any number of fallback and semantic values can be defined. Please also refer to our General Information on this topic.
Name
Enter the parameter name here. This name must be unique within a page.
When using parameter names in Intrexx—for example, in a script—you must be mindful of uppercase and lowercase letters. If the parameter is called "LID," for example, it must always be written as "LID."
Data Type
Select the desired data type here.
Required
With this setting, the page will not be displayed if the parameter is not found when the page loads.
This parameter is used only for new or existing records
Here, you can choose whether the parameter is required only for new records, only for existing records, or always.
The value may be passed via a request
Allows the value to be included in the request.
Description
You can enter a description of the parameter here.
Pass Parameters
The parameters required by the destination pages are generated here from "callers," such as a button. Any number of fallback values can be created. Semantic values can only be created for application pages. Please also refer to our General Information on this topic.
Name
Enter the parameter name here. Parameter names must be unique for each caller—in this case, for each button.
Request Name
Enter the name here under which the parameter should be available in the request.
Fallback value
For each parameter, any number of fallback values can be created or defined. You can find all the information about the settings for fallback values here.
Semantic value
For input and view pages and the portlet container, any number of semantic values can be defined here. Enter the name of the value here.
