We are currently attempting to provide some conditional confirmation boxes to the user – if the user presses a button and another parameter’s date value is in the past, it will ask if they are sure they wish to continue before the regular confirmation message appears.
However, our belief is that we currently cannot do that – we can only set this conditional pop-up with an “OK” response and then a further generic “do you wish to continue? OK | Cancel” message afterwards. It would be good to know which pop-up boxes can be displayed based on conditional events and what is customisable in terms of the response. I am aware that you cannot use parameters dynamically to populate the text in a message (but please confirm too).
Question: What are the combinations of options that we can display to the user for confirmation?
Hi Jack,
As far as I know, currently it is not possible to dynamically populate the text displayed in an confirmation pop-up in a driver (connector).
A possible option could be using interactive automation scripts (IAS):
- Create an overview that will be linked to an element. In this overview, you can link a shape to an automation script. You can find more information about how to link a automation script to a shape in DataMiner Help: Executing scripts from Visio
- In the IAS, you could
- Based on the value of parameter (in your case, the parameter;s date value), determine the message to be displayed in the UI
- Perform a parameter set if the conditions are met
There is a nice course in Dojo that covers automation scripts in great detail (DataMiner Automation). I would recommend the following lessons from this course:
