EIP - How do I prime other fields in the browse? 1

[rleiman]

Hi Everyone,

In the EIP manager take excepted embed can you tell me how to prime the fields in the browse?

I tried this but it did not populate any values:

SalDet:Description = INV:Description
SalDet:Category = INV:Category

SalDetescription is in the browse and I would like to prime it with INVescription.

Thanks.
Emad

Hi Emad,

Always remember that with EIP you are working with the Browse Queue fields. So, maybe <BrowseQ>.SalDetescription and <BrowseQ>.SalDet:Category might work. Replace <BrowseQ> with the name of your Browse Queue or <Browse Object>.Q.

Regards

Hi ShankarJ,

In the Browse Box Behavior screen I called the browse SalesItemsList under the object name. So I tried this code:

SalesItemsList.SalDet:Description = INV:Description

But I get a "field not found" error.

I found the queue in the source code. Can you check this to see what I did wrong in the above line of code?

Thanks.
Emad

Hi Emad,

Simple. The name of your queue is Queue:Browse and so it should be :

[red]Queue:Browse.[/red]SalDetescription = INVescription

or

SalesItemsList.[red]Q.[/red]SalDetescription = INVescription
(this might not work except in a BrowseClass embed as Q is a PRIVATE property)

You can change your Queue Name if you want to SalesItemsQueue in the List Box Properties.

Regards

Hi ShankarJ,

Queue:Browse.SalDetescription = INVescription worked.

Thanks for your help.

Truly,
