Autolink

Run the application and go to Persons´s default list.

Click in ‘Full Name’ of any record, in order to go to the View object of that record and navigate through the different tabs of it.

Why the link to visualize the record of a Person was inserted automatically in PersonFullName attribute?

Because the attribute PersonFullName is the ‘Description attribute’ of the Person transaction (as you can visualize in the following image), and because the property Autolink within PersonFullName attribute is True.

If needed, you can change the  ‘Description attribute’ of the instance. By default, WorkWithPlus uses the  ‘Description attribute’ defined in the transaction’s structure.

The Challenge

Instead of having a link in the attribute PersonFullName, the client requires having an action inside the grid that navigates into the View object of that record. WorkWithPlus contains the Standard Action "Display", specially to do that.

Verify that the property ‘Include action’ is in True and also that the property Behavior of this node is ‘Go to View’. You should also disable the automatic link associated to PersonFullName.

Do the changes necessaries in order to achieve the requests:

Run the application in order to visualize the results:

Comment & Tip: if you require to call the transaction in display mode instead of calling the View object, you must modify the property ‘Behaviour’ of the Standard Action Display in the WorkWithPlus Settings to the value ‘Go to transaction’.

Summary

Well done! You should now be able to:

  • Identify the View object within an instance
  • Identify the "Description attribute" of your instance
  • Modify the behaviour of the Display Standard Action
