NewCommand

Use this to create a new record from tree view.

The NewCommand button allows users to create new records from inside a Tree view without leaving the Tree view. For further details, see Tree.

The NewCommand button is configured in the Base vertical and is therefore available in all verticals. In UPDATE_DEFAULT it is used in various SearchResults and SearchResultsLinked headers (Example - in header group MATree). For further details, see Headers for TreeViews.

Note: Creating new Document Link records (D3) inside the tree is not supported.

A corresponding menu action A_TreeNew is configured in M_TreeChildren (the default context menu used for the info area nodes of a tree). For further details, see Info Area Settings.

Clicking on NewCommand calls the command "New" that executes the ExpandNew action for the current info area.

You can use the NewCommand button in all headers of record lists (i.e. not only in Tree views): SearchResults, SearchResultsLinked, SearchSubList, SubList.

When used in a Tree view, the "New" command is executed as follows:

  • If the info area is a tree node, the ExpandNew page is displayed inside the Tree view.
  • If the info area is not a tree node, the ExpandNew action is executed in a new tab.
