ShowForm Action Parameters

List of input arguments for ShowForm Action Parameters.

The ShowForm action supports the following input arguments:

createNewTab

See  createNewTab in Expand Action Parameters.

createNewPopup

See createNewPopup.

FormName

The name of the form you want to display. For further details, see Forms.

This parameter is mandatory.

HeaderName

An optional header for the form. You can specify any special header of the type specified in HeaderType.

HeaderType

The type of the header specified in HeaderName.

Enter the name of a header group or "Special" for an info area-independent special header.

InfoArea / RecID

The uid of a record (Record or Linked). For further details, see uid.

Options

Option string for JavaScript evaluation.

scripts

A comma-separated list of one or more (local) JavaScript files to be loaded to the page.

Textgroups

Additional text groups (comma-separated).

pageTitle

The title of the page. This page title is only used if HeaderName is undefined. For further details, see HeaderName. The pageTitle action parameter overrides the pageTitle attribute defined in the form.

For more information, see Defining a Header/Title for a Form.

WaitUntilCreated

If set to true, an empty page is display until the form is entirely created and all data loaded. If set to false, the form is immediately displayed and the loading process is visible for the user.

Define WaitUntilCreated = false for complex forms with lots of widgets and data to load.

For best user experience, complex widgets contained in e.g. a DashboardPanel should have a custom width set via CSS properties; this prevents a 'jumpy' loading process.

Default: true
