Posted on by 1,599 Super User 2024 Season 1

On my App, I have a form chooser gallery where if I click on the "+" icon to the right of each form, it navigates me to a new item screen.

However, if I click on the "eye/view" icon, I am taken to a gallery/list view screen where if I select a new item button in there I can set the varNewItem variable.

What I want to do is to be able to do this on my home screen / form chooser.

 

This is the code I am using on my App OnStart property:

 

Set(
 clTheme,
 {
 clBlue: BlueSquare.Fill,
 clDarkBlue: DarkBlueSquare.Fill,
 clRed: RedSquare.Fill,
 clYellow: YellowSquare.Fill,
 clWhite: WhiteSquare.Fill,
 clGreen: GreenSquare.Fill
 }
);

Set(
 ftTheme,FontLabel.Font
);
ClearCollect(
colGalleryMenu,
{
MenuTitle: "Extra Care Application to keep a mobility scooter",
NavigateTo: ECAKMS_scrn,
NavigateToNew: ECAKMS_form_scrn
},
{
MenuTitle: "Extra Care Centra New Resident",
NavigateTo: ECCNR_scrn,
NavigateToNew: ECCNR_form_scrn
},
{
MenuTitle: "Extra Care Person Centered Fire Risk Assessment",
NavigateTo: ECPCFRA_scrn,
NavigateToNew: ECPCFRA_form_scrn
},
{
MenuTitle: "Extra Care Personal Emergency Evacuation Management Plan",
NavigateTo: ECOEEMP_scrn,
NavigateToNew: ECOEEMP_form_scrn
},
{
MenuTitle: "Older Persons Support Agreement",
NavigateTo: OPSA_scrn,
NavigateToNew: OPSA_form_scrn
},
{
MenuTitle: "Supported Housing Move Out Checklist",
NavigateTo: SHMOC_scrn,
NavigateToNew: SHMOC_form_scrn
},
{MenuTitle: "Support Plan Needs Assessment",
NavigateTo: SPNA_scrn,
NavigateToNew: SPNA_form_scrn
},
{MenuTitle: "Supported Housing Risk Assessment and Management Review",
NavigateTo: SHRAAMR_scrn,
NavigateToNew: SHRAAMR_form_scrn
},
{MenuTitle: "Support Plan",
NavigateTo: SP_scrn
}
);

 

 

Essentially I need to be able to put the "Set(varNewItem" into the "NavigateToNew" bit below:

{MenuTitle: "Support Plan Needs Assessment",
NavigateTo: SPNA_scrn,
NavigateToNew: SPNA_form_scrn

 

Any suggeestions on how to acheive this would be ace!

 

Thanks! 🙂

    @Nogueira1306 

    Those items are in a gallery - hence the App OnStart property and the above code..

    In the first button you write:

     

    Switch(

    ThisItem.MenuTitle,

    "Support Plan Needs Assessment",

    Navigate(SPNA_form_scrn),

    ...

    )

     

    You need to write an option for each one of your options (suport plan, odler person, etc)

     

    Then you repeat but for the second button...

    @Nogueira1306 ah OK, so the "..." is there I put the additional options right?

    and at which point do I insert this bit below? as that is a requirement to show the required fields in new/edit mode.

    as if I just navigate to that screen, the fields don't appear...

     

    Set(varNewItem,true);
    Set(varSelectedItem,Defaults('Support Plan Needs Assessment'));

  • Nogueira1306 Profile Picture
    7,390 Super User 2024 Season 1 on at

    "..." are the rest of the options.

     

    Switch(

    ThisItem.MenuTitle,

    "Support Plan Needs Assessment",

    Set(varNewItem,true);
    Set(varSelectedItem,Defaults('Support Plan Needs Assessment'));

    Navigate(SPNA_form_scrn),

    ...

    )

     

    Check if that works
