RecordSelector Parameters

This topic holds information about the RecordSelector parameters.

RecordSelector.EnableDeleteLink

Description: If checked, a Remove Link button is displayed next to link fields in Expand view allowing users to remove previously selected link records.

Default: Checked

Type: Checkbox

Header.EnableRecordSelectorHeaderButtons

Description: Enable this parameter to display the buttons added to a record selector header of an info area. By default this parameter is not enabled and buttons added to a record selector header are not displayed.

Default: Disabled

Type: Check Box

RecordSelector.GenericInfoAreas/ RecordSelector.InfoAreasWithGenericLinks

Description: RecordSelector.InfoAreasWithGenericLinks determines which info areas can be linked to other info areas via generic links.

RecordSelector.GenericInfoAreas determines the info areas that can be accessed via generic links from the info areas defined under RecordSelector.InfoAreasWithGenericLinks.

These parameters control the use of generic links in the query designer. For example, a Task (A1) can be linked to any other info area using a link field. If you do not want to show all info areas in the query designer you may use these parameters.

For all info areas that are listed in RecordSelector.InfoAreasWithGenericLinks, all RecordSelector.GenericInfoAreas are offered as link info areas and vice versa.

For both parameters enter the info area IDs separated by comma.

RecordSelector.GenericInfoAreas also globally defines the info area selection (context menu) for generic link fields: The setting is used for all generic link fields that have no Select-Function defined. For further details, see selectRecord for Generic Link Fields.

Note: A link field's context menu only lists info areas that meet the following conditions:
  • The info area's key consists of station number plus serial number.
  • The user has read access.
  • A Search&List configuration exists.
Examples:

RecordSelector.InfoAreasWithGenericLinks = A1

RecordSelector.GenericInfoAreas = MA,CM,KM

Tasks can be linked to activities, campaigns and tickets in the query designer.

Default: Undefined

Type: List

RecordSelector.ShowSelectorIfDefined

Description: By default, the record selector icon is not displayed for read-only fields, i.e., fields with either data model field property = readonly or CRM.Designer field attribute Readonly = true.

If this parameter is checked and a Select-Function is defined for a field, the record selector icon is displayed regardless of a read-only setting. For further details on Select-Function, see  Select-Function.

Use this feature e.g. to indicate read-only link fields that actually copy data to other editable fields or to let users reassign parent records if required.

Note: If a user has no update rights for an info area, no record selector icons are displayed, regardless of RecordSelector.ShowSelectorIfDefined.

Default: Checked

Type: Checkbox
