Multiple Edit and View Pages

See this documentation.progress.com/.../index.html

Hi, This does not answer the question.

In my Grid, I have a required column / field called “Type” and based on the value of that row I would like the edit button to open the appropriate Edit page.

Is this possible?

If this is not possible out of the box with the default Edit button on the row options. I can create my own Edit hyperlink column to hold the text “Edit” but what would the hyperlink be for opening the edit page based off a column value?

The use case is, you can configure these pages at role level. Navigate to Roles -> Pages of any role. Here you can configure the newly created pages

For your requirement, you can write some custom javascript code to replace the page id of edit link. 

Thanks

Hi Srinivas,

I also have exactly the same requirement, requiring multiple edit pages for the same object differentiated by type (not user or role). The suggestion has been to write some custom javascript code to replace the page id of edit link. Can you include some sample code to best achieve this?

Requesting an enhancement for accessing alternate view and edit pages by a user defined field (e.g. type - picklist) in an object. Would be great to extend this to all (including new and quick create) pages, however recognise the need to extend RB to include a "record type" or similar concept (as we would need to know what type of record we were creating).

Hi Peter,

I have attached a sample application. In this application, I have an "Employee" object and I have two tabs "Employee" and "Requisition" for same "Employee" object. I want to navigate to a different edit page when a user clicks edit link of any record in "Requisition" tab. To achieve this, I have created an another Edit page in "Employee" object (Object definition -> Pages -> Cloned Edit Employee page) and I have written some javascript code to dynamically change the ids in "Edit" hyperlink URLs

Navigate to "Requisition" tab -> click on Design this page -> Edit script component. You can find some sample custom javascript code.

This may not be an optimal solution. But I could achieve what I want to do.

Hi Srinivas,

I am trying to implement the script with my own pages, but it is taking me to the new edit page in edit mode??? I am looking further into this. The concept is good however I have some concerns...

I note that the user documentation for getIdByOriginalId states the user must have the Administrator role. Not sure what impact this might have in a production system (where the users are obviously not administrators).

Hi Peter,

I have modified the app. I have attached the latest app XML. I have done the following changes.

[View:/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/25/MultipleEditPagesSameObj_5F00_v7.xml:320:240]

• Moved script section to after view component
• 
• Added a myFunc variable and invoked myFunc explicitly.
• 

Regarding permissions, getIdByOriginalId doesn't require Administrator permissions. Please refer the following documentation

https://documentation.progress.com/output/rb/doc/index.html#page/rb%2Frbf-getidbyoriginalid().html

Thanks

Hi Srinivas,

Thanks for the updated code. I am looking into it.

My requirement is to access different Edit pages from the one List, depending on the "type" of record being edited.

Do you have an example where the Edit is dynamically changed based on some field being displayed in the List?

Regards,

Peter

Hi Guys,

I have actually created an idea for the very same on this link. Please upvote it and we can hope for Rollbase to implement it sooner rather than later.
