{{tag>Index Action Action_List UI Form}}
====== VIEW ======

This action is very similar to the ''[[a_f:a:edit|EDIT]]'' action. The difference is that the process in which the action has been called does not wait for the user to change the values of the object and continues execution immediately after displaying the form.

===== Syntax ======

''VIEW'' AttributeIdentifier() [ ''USING'' Id() or StringLiteral() ] [ ''NOEDIT'' ]

where AttributeIdentifier() must be the name of the business object.

===== Example ===== 
<code aim>VIEW Account </code>

Id() or StringLiteral optionally indicate a form of the business object to be viewed, for example 

<code aim>VIEW Account USING 'Some fancy form' </code>

where "Some fancy form" is the name of the form of the Account object.

<callout type="primary" icon="true" title="note"> It is possible to optionally indicate the name of the specific section of the business object that will be displayed first, for example:
<code aim>VIEW Account USING 'Form for administrators' FORM_SECTION 'Personal details' </code></callout>

<callout type="primary" icon="true" title="note"> If ''NOEDIT'' keyword is specified at the end of the action the form viewed will have all its input controls disabled, so that the user cannot change any of the values.</callout>
