Launching a UD Entry screen using app-open

[CharlesS (Charles Stitman)]

I’ve run through all the topics I can find on this subject and nothing seems to address this. I have a need to open a UD entry page in a new tab. It should be simple enough… but it isn’t. The button calls the event just fine, and the new tab opens to UD09. But it doesn’t go to the correct page, and it doesn’t load the right data. I get the initial selection grid no matter what I do. It’s not a problem with getting the Key1 field since I get the same result even when I hard code it.

I feel like I’m missing a step somewhere.

I use an event after Form_OnLoad to force navigation to Main:

You could add conditions beforehand if necessary depending on where you’re coming from. For example, mimicking this stock event:

Thank you David. That knocks out one piece of this. Now I just have to get it to go to the correct entry.

You have an event that is sending values via your app-open… Do you have an event on your UD09Entry to accept the valueIn and parse them to the right fields?

Just a row-update event, I put mine after AfterInitialize, to set UD09.Key1 (or whatever you need to set) to the value of: “%session.context.initialValueIn.ValueIn%”

… or something of that ilk, depending on what you’re passing?

lengthy thread… but hopefully has good examples:

Passing values to app-open tile

Woo, this was a wild ride and I think I’ll write up an official HowTo on this, but see if this works for you: Here are the Launch Options. contextValue is going to be your extra fields you’re sending over. [image] On the receiving form, you need to add an event (I used After Form_OnLoad, but find what works for you) to set the fields into a view of your choice. I typically use TransView because it’s already there and you can add fields to it on the fly. In the event, use a row-update widget …

That did the trick. I would have preferred a direct load of some kind but this fixed. Thank you.

Epicor builds those loads into their screens. You have to as well.
