We now have a bunch of new options when a process is open in a new tab. some questions.
1. "Start Process when user Selects Tab". What is in context? Assume I have a query with a button that will open a new tab. That button takes the current record as the one in context. Is this saved somewhere? If not, assuming I am on customer #1 and press the button to open a tab, then I go to customer #2 and press the same button, I now have 2 tabs open. When I go back to the tab opened for customer #1, I need to run a process to FIND that customer and do lotsa stuff. How is this accomplished.
2. We can use the ID in the close tab action, however the close tab only accepts a STRING LITERAL. In my case, using the query above, I want to allow the user to only open 1 tab per customer selected. Therefore, I would like to assign the customerID to any tab that is opened and have code like CLOSE TAB <<LoggedInRegularUser.selectedCustomer.ID>> in the process that opens the tab. (therefore, only closing the tab that was opened for this customer. I am clueless how to accomplish this. (ticking the "do not open tab if tab already opened" wont work, since I want the user to be able to open 1 tab for every different customer selected.
Thanks
Bruce

DISPLAY MESSAGE 'Congratulations, you have selected Customer ' + Customer.Name
Code: Select all

Re: Questions with New Tab Features
You said: This is the whole idea of the "do not open tab if tab if it is already opened". If you tick this option there will always be only one tab per different customer.
I don't understand the "different customer" . With my testing, if I have this ticked, I can select the 1st customer and it will open the tab, if the tab is still open, if I select a 2nd customer, it will NOT open another tab. If I close the one for the 1st customers, then I can open the tab for the second customer.
What I would like to accomplish is that EACH customer can have a tab open, but only 1 per customer. This way the end user can multi-task. They can select customer #1, open their detail tab, go back to the query, select customer #2, and open THEIR detail tab. Now I will have 3 tabs. The original query and the 2 different detail tabs.
Can this be done?
Thanks

Re: Questions with New Tab Features
This is not how it is supposed to work. It is supposed to open exactly one tab per different customer. So either there is a bug or there is something specific to your application that causes the system to work differently. We'll have a look at your BSV

Re: Questions with New Tab Features
In your BSV a record was opened by a process and the process displayed a layout. This scenario was not supported in build 2235. We have now released build 2236 with the fix.

Bruce, this sound just like what I am trying to accomplish when a Donation Header records is selected. I want a new tab to open to show the donation detail info.
