HTML onClick in Query Output

PointsWell

I have a BO that has to show in a Query. It relates to a line on a bank statement. I want to edit the statement line to associate it with a Contact.

I could edit the form but that seems like at least 1 step to many.
I thought about using inline editing but that won't commit until the user focus blurs from the record which is counter intuitive as the user's next step is to expand the row, which doesn't cause the focus to change necessarily.
Also using a button operation would place the button at the opposite end of the field that is relevant.

Then I thought about using

<a href=”#” onclick=”AwareApp.startProcess('TEST_DELETE_MESSAGE','main')” >Show Message</a>

inside a text field to run a process to PICK ONE FROM and then insert that Contact into the statement line and replace the text field with the Contact name.

Rather than build everything I wanted to test it with the process above TEST_DELETE_MESSAGE which is just DISPLAY MESSAGE'Hello'.

The output from this is not positive:

HTTP Status 404 - /AwareIM/%E2%80%9D
type Status report
message /AwareIM/%E2%80%9D
description The requested resource is not available.
Apache Tomcat/8.0.14

I have looked at all the AwareApp.function options and none of them seemed more appropriate.

Am I attempting to do something ridiculous or am I doing it wrong?

Give this a try, using what you posted I got the same error..

<a href=# onclick=AwareApp.startProcess('TEST_DELETE_MESSAGE','main')>Show Message</a>

Not sure why it works without the " " but it seems to.. Let me know!

Thanks that works.

Spoke too soon.

I need awareApp2 function which passes context. Does anyone have an example of what this should look like as I haven’t managed to get the correct syntax worked out from the manual.

Jon,

the startProcess2 takes an instance as a parameter.

Hi Mark

Not at my desk at the moment, from memory it asks for

(‘Entity’,’Identifier’,’main’)

The example uses a specific instance id but I can’t figure out the syntax to be dynamic, ie This ID

So to do this I use a rule when an object is created.. An example would be:

IF Object IS NEW THEN Object.Link=<a href=# onclick=AwareApp.startProcess2('ProcessName','Object','+Object.ID+','main')>Text here</a>

Thanks! I was trying to make it dynamic - seems a bit clunky/inelegant to have to hardcode the ObjectID into the string.

ps for anyone other than idpSteve following this, the ObjectID has ' round it, it should just be a number like:

IF Object IS NEW THEN Object.Link=`<a href=# onclick=AwareApp.startProcess2('ProcessName','Object',`+Object.ID+`,'main')>Text here</a>`

If I remember correctly you can just use {ID}

Something else I've just remembered.. When you need to set multiple actions or something similar to that, like maybe you want this to be a button rather than a link and you want the button to have 2 classes, you need to separate multiple classes/actions with &Generating a Default Password; rather than a space because when AwareIM adds in the " " that you would normally use with a class or an action it adds before and after the first 'term'.

For example, not sure if this is applicable but I'm sure it will demonstrate the point, if you wanted an icon from font awesome that needs 2 classes:

<i class=fa&Generating a Default Password;fa-plus> would become <i class="fa fa-plus">
where as
<i class=fa fa-plus> would become i class="fa" fa-plus> which obviously won't work..

I can't think of exactly where I had this issue but I definitely came across it before.
