Change Rows in a sub-screen as you click through a grid

I created a custom screen with a grid that shows Job information. The Right-Click-Open-With functionality works just fine, but the user wants the opened JobEntry screen to automatically change JobNums as they click through the grid on the custom screen.

I searched through the forum to find something similar, but I’m not entirely sure of what I’m looking for honestly. Would this be a launchformoption? A publish or a subscribe? I assume I would need a customization on the Job Entry screen too? More than anything I’m just wondering what tools you would use for this, and the general idea of how it would work (how involved it would this be?).

Anyone been down this road before? Thank you for your time!

Bumpidy bump? I assure you, I’ve been a good little forum human and have looked on my own. Unfortunately, because I don’t know what I’m looking for, I am lost. Any light appreciated.

This should work out of the box, (which is probably why they are asking for it). What version are you working on, and are you using classic screens? Or Kinetic/Web screens?

Hello! 10.2.400. Built a custom screen that loads/manipulates records in a grid. That grid is ‘fed’ by BAQs (similar to dbd obviously, but it’s not a dbd), this is probably why it’s not working, eh?

I guess I’m not sure. Generally it does, but usually I just use dashboards for everything, so I’ve never run across it. Can you just use a dashboard instead?

No unfortunately not because of the nature of the screen. I am assuming this will require not only custom work on the parent screen, but for each sub screen it opens (Part/Job/ etc.). May be more trouble than it’s worth. Thank you for your time and help on this one.

Normally, the only time this does not is when a modifier key is used with the “Open with …” or the form does not contain this functionality (RARE).

Can you provide more details on how you set this up? Are you populating with a BAQ? Are you populating a dataview, or just a BAQ grid?
