Running 2022.2.20
Hello, I am hoping you can help me. I am wanting to add a new tab to the sales order for kinetic. This tab will hold all mu customizations. I am able to produce the page, and add the check boxes i intend to use. But it will not display this tab while in preview.
You can see the page Savage Customizations page just fine. But when I view it the tab will not appear.
Can someone assist please.
You need to set your page type to tabstrip, set it’s parent, and on the tabstrip for main, add it and reference it.
Tabstrip is not one of the options - We have Page, Tab, TabPage and ContentPage.
Running into the same issue. There is the option to create a page when you add to a tab strip and it creates it but in preview it does not show the page.
Looking around this site a lot of people are running into the same problem.
The wacky part is when in design mode if I click the tab it shows the page and controls but in preview it does not.
Using Sales Order Entry as an example:
Look at the Name of the page where you want the tab to appear (Main, in this case):
Add a new page, and make sure it is set to TabPage, and Main is the Parent
Take note of the TabPage’s “Name” and/or give it a better one.
Then, scroll down on the new TabPage’s properties and give it a Tab ID:
Now, go in and edit the “Main” page… the Parent.
The new TabPage isn’t there… yet:
Click on the Panel Card and go into Properties > Data > Data
The Drop Down shows the (3) TabPages that are currently visible:
Click the (+) icon to add a new one, and fill in the details:
Basic edits I added to the “My New Tab” page, just so there is something on there…
Had one hiccup here… not sure why. Everything was working, but the tab page was showing up empty.
So I renamed my new tab page to MyNewTab… updated that in the tabstrip Data settings… and all good.
Results:
I appreciate the help. I tried that no dice at first until I realized that the tabid did not match the page name on the tab strip which did not match the tab id of the page (if that makes sense).
So I changed the tabId in the tabstrip and the name of the page in the tab strip and it was fine. Oddly it showed the wrong page name in the tab strip.
What kills me is that I can have the tab strip control generate the new page and it displays it when I click on the tab in application studio. So it should work.
But in preview it does not.
It really should not be this hard to do something so basic.
Thank you again. I hope I can do this over and over now. I have a few dozen customizations to do.
Haha, I have to verify settings every time! Its certainly not second nature. The problem is you have to put the settings in multiple places and if you screw one up, you’re doomed to smack your head on your keyboard until you find the one typo or missed property.
Agree that it could be a little more straight forward to do stuff like this.
