Hi guys,

I am looking for a guide to modify how a form loads on screen. The " +New Jaarlijk Budget" button opens up the "Jaarlijk Budget" form that is related to the Cursists record i have opened.

I would like to have the form to open as a side panel or modal dialog (instead of fullscreen) but i can not seem to find a guide that demonstrates how to do this.

Picture underneath shows what i am trying to achieve.

Anyone has a guide/blog that they can share me that explains how to achieve this?

Best Regards,

Anthony

Hey,
You can add a quick create form.
In solution, switch to classic
Select the Table for which you want to enable quick create form
Scroll and under "Data Service" heading, check "Allow quick create". save and close.

Then, Table>forms>add form, create a form.

Then add the respective subgrid. On adding a new record, side panel will open up.
Hope it helps. 🙂

Hi @VaralikaB ,

First of all thank you for the help.

I added a QuickCreate form to the table "jaarlijks budget". This is the table in the subgrid where i want the side panel tot pop up when i click "New." Although i added the quick create form, when i click "New" in the subgrid it still opens up in a new window.

How does the model driven app knows when to load witch form? Or if you click "New" in a subgrid does it automatically takes the QuickCreate Form?

Best Regards,
Anthony

Hey, @Anthony_Dob ,

Can you confirm if you have checked the required forms in App Designer?

After selecting the forms, you should be able to see the side panel instead of a full screen form.

Hope this resolves the issue.

Somehow it now works. Delay in the changes coming through maybe?
