Transferring values between pages

Overview

How are values transferable between pages?

• Header fields on a called page, are automatically filled out, when their name matches a field in the response of the calling page
  
  • See example 1 and 2
  • This method works for all combination of pages, as long as field names match
    
    
• The response of a calling page, are available as "ContextValues" in the request on the called page

Tip: Use the"standard" names

All standard functions uses the same field and header field names:

1. OrderBackendId or BackendID = Source Document No.

2. LineNumber = Source Document Line No.

3. Item = Item No.
4. Etc.

,

• Mobile always initiates the communication with a Request
• BC always Responds

Example 1: Planned function Line to Unplanned function Header

Scenario

1. The user is viewing "Pick Order Lines"
2. User selects the submenu-action "Locate Item"
3. "Locate Item" also has a field called "Item" in it's Header
   
4. Item No. is now transferred. Because it exits in both the Order result AND the receiving page header.
5. Location is NOT transferred as field "Location" do not exists in the "GetPickOrderLines"-response. Field "Location" can be populated in the response from a customization using the OnGetShipOrderLines_OnAfterSetFromWarehouseShipmentLine event.

Example 2: Transfer Lookup function result to Unplanned function

Scenario

1. The user is viewing a result of the "Bin Content" Lookup function
2. User selects the action "Unplanned Move"
3. "Unplanned Move" also has a field called "Item" in it's Header.
4. Item No. is now automatically transferred, because it exits in both the lookup result AND the receiving page header.

Example 3: Transfer Lookup function result value to an Unplanned function / action

Scenario

1. The user is viewing a result of a Lookup i.e."Bin Content" 
2. User selects an Action in the menu
3. The Lookup result can be included in the Submit request

Add the following change in Mobile Configuration Files

Add includeInputDataRowInSubmitRequest="true" to the <lookupConfiguration.. tag of the Lookup page.
