Has anyone built a parent/relationship in added forms withing a Layer? Something like ‘Customer in form shows grid of orders. Selecting the ordernum opens the child form’?
You can see that example and how it is constructed on the activity tab in the Customer screen.
I can see the example and how it spawn. And I can get it close. But I can’t seem to get my form to load. I can get the event I cloned to open the Epicor form, but when I switch it to opening my form, it looks like it is trying, but the form doesn’t open.
(btw, I threw out Customer/Orders as an example, but I’m actually working with Part/PartPlant.)
Are you using a baq? or service call? Provider model or grid model?
TLDR; grid model. The event fires to open the form but the form doesn’t open. Using the Epicor built form in the event, it opens.
I’m using a grid model.
Let me lay out the scenario for you:
In Part Maintenance, the users generally open the Landing Page grid model, select a record, and it opens a Detail form that is full of components; many of which we don’t use. Then they click on the Sites tab and load another form full of components that is the PartPlant relationship to the selected part.
I’m trying to provide them a set of forms with only the fields they care about (later referred to as the ‘dumbed down forms’). I am building this on top of Part Maintenance so that they have the full working power of that app in case they discover that they need at more than they requested.
So I’ve added a tabpage to the tab strip. And I’ve gotten my Part details dumbed down form to load successfully and on the page, I added a grid of PartPlant data. I’ve selected the PartPlant.Plant field as a link. I’ve cloned the event that does the same thing between the Part and PartPlant records on the Epicor built forms. I’ve modified that cloned form to fire on click of the dumbed down form grid. I’ve pointed the page-navigate-to widget to point to my PartPlant dumbed down form. I see the event firing, and I see the action across the top of the app, but then it just doesn’t open. (Additionally, if I point my cloned event to open the Epicor built PartPlant form instead of my dumbed down PartPlant form, it actually loads. So I assume the event is wired correctly.)
