In ERP10 i used environmental variables to pass variables from a parent screen to a subscreen.
For example; I had a dashboard with all available work (operations) in a grid. I could select a record click on a button Start Setup and the next form opens and the required textboxes, combo boxes etc. are already entered.
In the parent:
Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable
in the child:
Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable
Is there some way to pass data like this in application studio?
I have created a layer in Erp.UI.Mes and itâs calling Erp.UI.StartSetupActivityEntry using an open-app tile (sliding form). I tried to use callContextBpmData, but this value is already lost in the next form.
During debugging I found 3 potentials tables (no columns) to pass data â TransView, KeyFields, KeyFieldParams
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 itâs already there and you can add fields to it on the fly. In the event, use a row-update widget and set the value to that disgusting string.
That looks exactly like what I need to finish my plan. I tried it before with the ContextValue, but I didnât know how to set those parameters like you did. Thank you very much!
I do however have an issue with application studio missing de epBinding field. The problem occurs in the full-client and in the web-client. Most of the time the field is hidden. Any idea what triggers this field to appear?
If I add a textbox somewhere and bind it to an epBinding and throw it away it is triggered and the field can be used
Still struggeling. I tried the example you gave me, but I canât get the params send to the next screen. I see you are able to find them in the debugging mode, but how did you get there? I get lost in the many transaction and values that are shown in the console/ sources and network tabs.
To debug the set and get logic i created a button in the next screen to read the value in the initialValueIn data as I couldnât get it into a textbox by the âafter form loadâ. During this phase i even couldnât get employeeID to display which should be stored in the valueIn (not contextvalue).
From the Erp.UI.Mes:
Start Setup button sends out {âemployeeIDâ: â{Constant.CurrentEmployeeID}â}
In the Erp.UI.StartSetupActivityEntry:
Added new button to display the value:
Message: â%session.context.initialValueIn.employeeID%â
Result: ââ
if i call for â%session.context.initialValueIn.contextValue.Param1%â the popup doesnât even follow, so I think itâs not even there.
Use a different event downstream. âAfterâ AfterInitialize may work for your needs. You could also try âafterâ Execute_GetByID. Experiment with events to find the one that works for your needs.
Ah finally got it. Couldnât get the dev tools operating normal (ctrl + shift + 8) and so on. Turned out that my keyboard setting in language Dutch was causing the problem. Changed it to English(US) and I could finally start debugging.
The problem i was facing is the bug that an app-open tile canât be changed. Everytime it changed back to the settings (Value options) i entered the first time. Deleting the tile and 10 attempts further deleting the whole button_click event (everytime it was back ) I could build a new open-app tile with the right value in information.
Thank you very much! Without your help I probably would have thrown my laptop out of the window
Our company is new to Kinetic and I am facing some of the same issues as the OP. I followed your directions for passing values through contextValue with the last step creating a row update after the page loads. On the row update, I select the correct column and use this for the value (including the quotes):
After your form launches, press F12 to open Dev Tools, then press CTRL+ALT+8 to enable debugging.
In the console, type epDebug.context and hit enter.
Do you see your values?
In the above dashboard, I want to click on a case, no and the case entry screen is required with the clicked case no. If you please explain the steps it will be highly appreciated. Thanks
Searching around the forum, Iâve been able to work out the Launch Options for passing information from one form to the other, but my issue is when there are no launch options i.e. form opened directly.
Iâve tried checking - session.context.initialValueIn.contextValue for null / ââ (empty string or undefined but none of them seem to work for checking that no launch params have been passed.
) I could build a new open-app tile with the right value in information.
