Time Phase Inquiry Default Checkboxes

I’m trying to set these three checkboxes to “false” in Time Phase Inquiry. I tried to create a method directive, but it’s giving me an error that the variables aren’t defined. Is there a better way to accomplish this??


To clarify, I want to default the “Planning Contract Info” “Transfer order instructions” and “Suggestions” checkboxes to false.

You could do it in a customization fairly easily with the code wizards. You could add an EpiViewNotification with the Form Event Wizard while in customization mode, using the dataView where those checkboxes are saved.

Then once the code is added, you would just need to change/type a few lines to the generated code:

Change the NotifyType to initialize, and add the following three lines in the if statement:

view.dataView[args.Row]["Suggestions"] = false;
view.dataView[args.Row]["TOSuggestions"] = false;
view.dataView[args.Row]["PlanContractInfo"] = false;

Wow! Amazing! It worked. But now it takes a long time to pull up a part in Time Phase. I regenerated the data model. Any ideas on that part?

Very strange, I’m noticing a slow down as well. I also notice that it’s pulling in record duplicates with this customization…not sure why. Maybe this isn’t a good idea after all…

Apparently the epiViewNotification on initialize doesn’t work as expected here. I wasn’t able to even re-check the boxes. BUT, it looks like it works normally using the “Form Load” event rather than an epiViewNotification.

If you add this event with the event wizard in the SAME customization that you have an epiViewNotification event, you can use some of the epiViewNotification code still. So you can reference that ‘edvMisc’ data view rather than having to define it again. Here’s my entire customization that seems to be working, I commented out the code in the epiViewNotification. Also added StartEdit / EndEdit lines to see if that helped the other bug, it didn’t.

}

OK. Now it’s just crashing every time. How do I delete these form events? I’m sure I did something wrong, but I’d rather have the checkboxes checked then have it this slow and crash when we open Time Phased

Did anybody ever get this customization layer working? I just received a request to do this process.

It worked for me when I put the code you posted into a form load event. Also need to initialize that edvMisc variable:
