Veiw Referred Object

The question is still whether or not the "View" operation listed in the User Guide works and if so how?

Operations
The Operations table shows operations that can be invoked with the instances of the
referred object. The operation types are similar to those configured for form operations.
The following operation types can be defined:

Edit. This operation allows users to navigate to the instance of the referred object
and display its editing form
Delete. This operation allows users to delete the instance of the referred object from
the list (but not delete the instance itself!) – a warning is displayed before the
instance is deleted.
- View. This operation allows users to show a form or a presentation of the referred
object.
Start Process. This operation allows users to start a process (the referred instance
will be used as process input).
Run Query. This operation allows users to run the specified query.
Create Document. This operation allows users to generate the document from the
specified template or let users choose the document template at run time.

I think the 'view' thatbyounare talking about is a button on a line item in a referenced attribute.

Example

You have a companies BO and a contacts BO. The contacts are employees of the company, so you have a form showing the company details name address switchboard number etc and also a reference attribute to the contacts BO.

This referenced attribute you set up as a 'table of items' (as opposed to a drop down or a tree)

You can then specify which attributes of contacts you want to see in the line. In the reference window on the main companies form.

You then add some processes which appear as buttons at the end of each line. One of these processes can be 'View' and you also specify which form (of the contacts BO) younwant to use when the user presses the View button. the only difference between edit and view is that with view - your user cannot change anything.

.... Ps, I think this should not have been a problem report - which we tend to reserve for possible bug reports.

Post 'how to's in 'General'

I've posted it there as well with no response either. I seem to recall some problem with the edit and delete icons being displayed for some reason but can't remember what it was. Edit and display work fine.
