Header Links

Header links are used in the ExpandOptions header to define what is displayed below the details mask of an Expand page.

The following screenshot shows the MA ExpandOptions header configuration page. The header’s Links area shows the three links added for Participants, Parent Data, and Related Data.

The following screenshot shows the result of the configuration where the three linked areas Participants, Parent Data, and Related Data are displayed in the activity window of a user.

Define {LINKS} as the header's Text. The {LINKS} placeholder is replaced by the options defined under Links.

For each link option, you need to define the following:

  • Text: The text to be displayed as a link.
  • Msg.: If a user clicks a link, the header calls the page's message call-back function to handle the click. The following messages are available on the Expand page:
    • Message "0": Displays Processes & Links, i.e. the parent records of the current record and their context menus.
    • Message "1": Displays Related Data using the ExpandChildren header with the related sub-info areas. For further details, see Related Data area (Header Info Areas).
    • Message "2": Displays Participants of an activity if selected.
  • Flags: If all flags are set to zero, the link with Message "0" (Processes & Links) assigned is opened by default when the user loads the page. If you want another link option to be opened by default, set the flag of this option to "1". In the example above, Participants is the option which is displayed when the page is opened.
