Dear Expert,
Could you please suggest how to add the custom button under the Action menu in the kinetic Epicor.
Thanks in advance.
I figured out how to add an Action Menu, so please follow these steps:
(This can be done in any other entry, use the ABC Code as an example)
In the Details page, select the Details panel card and go to Properties > Advanced
- Check Enable Action Menu
- Click in Action Data
Add a new action (+) and enter the ID for the Action and the following parameters (make it something meaningful):
- ID: btnCustomAction.
- Description: Custom Action (description that shows in the Actions menu)
- Icon: mdi mdi-comment (you can find a list of valid icons here, from the selected value add the prefix mdi).
- EpBinding: ABCCode.btnCustomAction
- Add to Primary ToolBar: checked
- Sequence: 1 (the desired order in the Actions menu)
Then we have to add the dummy column used in the Action EpBinding property that will trigger our custom event.
In the Left Panel, go to Data Views > ABCCode, after it opens go to columns and Add a new column (+)
Name the column: btnCustomAction as in the Action EpBinding property. Close the ABCCode Data View and save the changes.
On the Left Panel go to Events and add a new one (+)
Give an ID to the new event, let’s name it: OnClickAction_CustomAction
Select the first node that says No Trigger and set the following Properties:
- Type: EpBinding
- Hook: On Click
- Target: ABCCode.btnCustomAction
From the Tool Box select your desired Action, for this example, I’ll select Actions > Dialog > dialog-show. Drag and drop the tool into the designer area.
On the dialog-show Properties go to Behavior > Advanced > Param. Set the following properties:
- Type: okCancel
- Message: ABC Code - Custom Action clicked!
Save and Preview.
Notice that the icon has been added to the Detail Panel Card header. If you click on that Action Button, the message is displayed on the Right side of the screen:
