Hello everyone,
I am currently developing an LCA application for an iDirect project.
So far, I have created GQIs to filter my results dynamically.
This part is fully functional.
Initially, this displays all the hubs on the left side, then the networks associated with each hub in the middle, and finally, when I select a network, it displays the remote terminals on that network in the right side.
All the information comes from the same element.
Now, I have a question, as I would like to display a box that allows me to enter notes on the remote constantly.
I’m thinking of a box that appears only when I click on a remote, for example.
And the content of this box is filtered by the index of the table where the remotes are located, for example (the table index).
Is there a way to meet my requirement?
Thanks in advance !
Hi Alexandre,
Yes, this should be possible by stringing a few features together.
One possible approach could be:
- Add a notes column to your data source (for example via an ad hoc datasource if needed (using a join based on ID, the notes can then be saved however you prefer).
- When a user clicks a remote, open a panel showing a text input or rich text editor (available in 10.6.6) and on that panel use a Set Value action linked to the component row data to populate the input with the notes value from the clicked row
- You can then edit the note by typing anything in the text box.
- On save with a button or close of the panel, execute an Automation script that updates the note for that specific remote.
- Refresh or reload the remote datasource so the updated value is reflected in the Ui when opening the notes again.
So the flow would be:
Click row → Open panel & Set value → Edit → Save via script → Reload data
Kind regards
Robin
Hello Robin,
Right, thanks for the suggestion; I’ll look into that.
Have a nice day!
