When I right-click a record on a native Epicor screen (say, a part) and open something like Part Tracker from the context menu, the two screens stay linked. Change the part on one and the other follows.
I’m trying to get the same behavior from a BAQ I run as a grid view (not in a dashboard). The context menu shows up and I can open the linked screen, but it doesn’t stay tied to the BAQ row. Updating the part on the BAQ side doesn’t update the opened screen.
Has anyone gotten this working from a BAQ grid view? Looking for advice on what I might be missing. Thanks!
Can you clarify what you mean by this? Where is this grid, if not in a dashboard? Are you saying the grid is on your active Home Page layout?
As far as grids in a dashboard…
I HAVE seen that, if your grid is populated by a BAQ via the provider model… that link doesn’t stay “live” as you move between records in the grid.
But if your grid is populated by a BAQ Dataview… the link DOES stay live.
I think this may have to do with some background dataview row-change logic which updates the open link. But if you change rows in a simple BAQ grid, that dataview row-change logic doesn’t fire.
… all theory, no definitive evidence… other than if I test this with a grid I made tied to a dataview, the link stays open. If I test with a BAQ grid populated via the provider model, it does not.
