Button - Actions

With a single click on a button in the browser, you can not only save and delete records but also perform a wide variety of other actions. You can configure the actions in the Properties dialog box for buttons on the "Actions" tab.

You can find out how to create and configure a button here.

No action

If, for example, a button is intended simply to load a different page, select the "No Action" action type.

Save

Button on input pages

The "Save" action is available if the button is located on an input page and a WriteContainer is defined for that page. The current data set is saved when you click the button.

Button on view pages

On view pages, the "Save" option is available if the view page contains a custom table. All data records are stored in the freely formatted table. Here you'll find tips and tricks for editing data in the customizable table.

Rights

If a user does not have sufficient permissions, the button is hidden in the browser.

Delete

On a page within a data group, this action can be used to delete the current record and all records that depend on it in subordinate data groups.

On a page within a data group, you can use the button to scroll through the records.

Data Picker

This action type compares a search term with the values in a data field. The input fields from the current page can be mapped to the data fields from the selected application and data group. If the search is successful, the fields will automatically be populated with the data found. So, for example, if an employee's name is entered into an input field that is configured as a search field in the Data Picker, the Data Picker could—if configured accordingly—determine the employee's email address and phone number and automatically enter them into the corresponding input fields.

Search field

Select the input field you want to use as the search field.

Starting with Intrexx version 12.1.0:

When the Data Picker is reinitialized, the focus is automatically set to it. If you do not want this to happen, set the expert attribute "data-picker-autofocus = 0" in the search field's properties. This prevents the camera from focusing automatically.

Advanced

Opens a dialog box where you can modify the layout of the table that displays multiple search results.

Automatically display the result when the input length is ... characters or more

To ensure that the data picker is accessible, you must uncheck the "Automatically display results when the input length is ... characters or more" checkbox.

Click "OK" to save your changes and close the dialog box.

Add a record

This action allows you to add new entries to drop-down lists, list boxes, or custom tables in the browser. The new data is stored in the data group to which the selection list or the input page embedded in the table is linked.
