Kinetic Auto Populate Fields

Kinetic ERP
1

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a kinetic screen and want to set it up so that when I select a customer from a dropdown, it automatically populates other fields with that customer’s information. I’m wondering about using events to trigger a Customer.GetByID to make this happen, but I’ve never done it before, so I figured I’d check here for the best approach and resources before diving in. Has anyone done something similar? I’d really appreciate any tips, advice, or links to specific resources/tutorials that could guide me through this.

Thanks so much in advance for your help!

In App Studio, add a Customer DataView. If you use the Guided Setup, it will create a “GetByCustID” event for you.

You will need to set the trigger for that event, and also add criteria in the rest-kinetic widget (Method Parameters) to tell it what CustID to use in the rest call.

That should pull the records into the Customer dataview you added and as long as your other customer fields on your form are bound to that Customer dataview, the values should appear once the call is complete.

Thanks! I’ll give that a try.
