Buttons

You can define buttons to pages that allow the user to call the assigned page.

You can add the following buttons to the Details (or any other) view:

  • Edit: Calls OrganizerAction action template, see OrganizerAction.
  • EditWithSerialEntryButton: Call the quick add, see SerialEntryEdit and SerialEntryNew.
  • DownloadRecord: Calls the SyncRecord action template, see SyncRecord.
  • Modify (not included in the update.tablet): You can add this button if you want to change records based on an existing Template filter by assigning the ModifyRecord action call, see Template Filter and ModifyRecord.

    To add a modify button, configure the ModifyRecord page (which actually is a function) to hand over the record and to apply a TemplateFilter .

  • Delete: Calls the Delete organizer action to delete the current record, see OrganizerAction.

Adding a Button

Buttons are added to the header group of the desired info area for each view.

To add a button to the Details (or any other) view:

  1. Switch to the header group (for example, Expand) of the desired info area (for example, Person).
  2. Select a button in the drop-down list at the end of the existing buttons and click on (Add).
  3. Click on the button's name to open the button's details.
  4. Click on Copy to this configuration to switch to the Edit mode, then click on (Edit) besides Action to assign the action that is executed when the user clicks on this button.
  5. Define the action's parameters. The mandatory parameters depend on the selected button.

Adding a Button Group

You can also define that one or more buttons are grouped and that the options are displayed in a pop-up list when the user clicks the More Actions menu in the record's header:



To add a button group:

  1. Switch to the header group for the desired info area, for example, Company.
  2. Add the desired buttons to the Buttons area:


  3. Add the GroupStart button (or any button with a name starting with GroupStart). The image defined for this button is used as icon for the button group.
  4. Add the GroupEnd button to mark the end of a group. The GroupEnd button is only required if you want to add further buttons at the right side of a group.
Note: The grouping is ignored if quick actions are not defined.
