[Solved] Dreadful exp InLine editing - posting simple Qty OH

Post by Jaymer »

I need to offer a simple update screen after a physical Inventory count has been done.
But I'm having an awful experience on 8.1 bld 2477.
Its SOOOOO painful to enter a Qty OH, and then click on the row below.
I get a slight delay, a spinner while 16 rules evaluate (half are automatic rules for defaults, initial value, choices, etc.) and then the next row COMES OUT of edit mode, making me have to click again to edit the cell (and sometimes that takes more than 1 click).

Even if I was trying to enter 1 down the entire column, its BRUTAL!!! OMG

Does anyone have a strategy for posting a simple column of #s in a table?



And another less crucial Q:
Also, can someone refresh my memory - wasn't there an update in the last 6 months that had something to do with Inline Editing - NOT causing a new line to be added at the bottom of a Query. Was that a setting, cause I can't find it.

For your last Question.....

Add this to the Initialisation Script of the Query....

parser.m_doNotAddNewOnTab=true;
Cheers,

There were some fixes to inline editing in 8.2 - not sure if it fixes your particular issue, but it is worth a try

I just had the same business requirement. where a physical inventory was run and the user had to enter new stock amounts. I solved this by having a form attached to a non-persistant BO.

I have a Non-Persistant BO with 2 fields, Item # and New Qty. I have a form where the user enters the item code, then my process will read the Inventory records, and after the new balance is entered, I would have the inventory updated by this field.

Does this make sense?

Bruce. May not work for me.
They need to use a iPad at an inventory location. Like “supply cabinet”

In a grid, see items in a specific sort order and see:
Item #
LOCation# (sets the display order)
Name
Par
Qty O/H <——— enters this
Cost
Manuf
Vendor

Don’t want to enter the item#, just arrow down/click/tab whatever to get the O/H #s entered.

Is Qty O/H the only editable field?

john,
it COULD be if we have to.
Reality is, that while you are counting an area, you MAY want to edit your PAR (cause you see stuff still in stock for long time) or the LOCation field (cause maybe the move the item for some reason.)

ok, Vlad told me that some improvements were done in 8.2 for Inline.
I'm now happy.
Not just cause of 8.2 tho.

At first, I had no change. I really had unexplainable results using inline.
2 of 4 numeric fields on a line just "didn't work" - I have a video, but I don't think its important anymore.
The didn't look like the other 2 that DID work when the cursor was parked on them - and they ignored a value typed into them and I didn't get a little red triangle when tabbing out.

I modified the field to use Up/Down Spinners - set this in the Attribute properties.
All of a sudden, these fields worked like the other 2 (which had no spinners ever).

I also had an issue that when you changed a value, after tabbing thru the line, when Aware would save, the cursor would go away/or back to the top line in the grid.
Realized I had a Refresh option on - so that when this BO was saved, the grid refreshed.
Would have normally worked if you weren't doing Inline editing - There was a Panel Op button for "Add New", so I had to have the refresh on to redraw the screen after the new rec.
Removed the refresh setting and InLIne editing worked now fast and like you'd expect it to.
thanks!!!
