Hey folks, just your friendly, neighborhood Kineticist. Yes, that’s a word now. I just made it. I wanted to present a simple how to for how to launch another form from your current one. This will start basic, but will add more advanced scenarios as I figure them out! Step one is to create an ev…

Sorry to bump this. In step 4 you specify the specific form you want to open. Is there any way to specify whether this form will open as classic or kinetic?

With the launch options, I don’t believe so. If it’s in the browser, obviously it will be the new UX. If you’re using the client, I imagine it will follow the rules of how you have “Form To Use” set from either Menu Maintenance or the user’s preferences.

Thanks for this write-up Hannah. It was great, but I’m a little stuck on the LaunchOptions. I’m trying to open Customer-Contact page.

Like if I use a row-update and use this value (like Contact.Name = ‘XYZ’) then it opens up the default contact and updates the name on it. I’m looking to actually open the Contact that I ne…

Run. Run far away from this. :rofl: There are soooo many issues. First of all–if you’re using the slide out panel, it doesn’t actually send the contextValues. Neat. :expressionless: If you’re going that route, they’re gonna have to select the proper contact themselves, but at least it gets them to…

Wow! Thank you for taking the time to do this. I must say it was hard! Yesterday afternoon I got it working though with a slight different approach. But I Iove what you did. I’ve not used the rest-erp as of now. I think I must try it out… The way I did it was I sent the value as contextValue in the…

Yes. I was opening it from Order Entry page too!
