Defining a popup

Popups access the columns of the table whose business object is bound to an edit box. Popups contain search fields that you can use to specify search criteria, and a results grid that shows the records that match those criteria. You can use the Schema Manager to indicate which columns are displayed as search fields and which columns are displayed in the results grid in the popup. You do this by setting Criteria Search Order and Grid Search Order values for a column when you add a column to a table definition or edit an existing column. The default for these values is 0, indicating that the column is not displayed in the popup. A value of 1 indicates that the column will be displayed first in the popup, either as a search field or as a column in the results grid. A value of 2 indicates that the column will be displayed second, and so on. If two or more columns have the same value, Infor Public Sector shows the columns in the order that they are list in the Schema Manager. A column can be displayed as a search field only, as a column in the results grid only, as both, or as neither.

Note: A field must be set up to show a popup. This is usually done in the Page Editor when you add an edit box to a form and set its properties.
  1. Select System > Agency Personalization > Schema Manager.
  2. In the Enhancement Product Families tree, browse to the Columns node for the table definition whose popup you want to define.
  3. Click the Columns node.
    The grid on the right shows all columns and domains that have been added to this table definition.
  4. Enable editing in the grid and select the column that you want to include in the popup.
  5. In the Criteria Search Order field, type the order in which you want the column's search field to be displayed at the top of the popup.
  6. In the Grid Search Order field, type the order in which you want the column to be displayed in the popup's results grid.
  7. Click Save.
    Infor Public Sector updates the column with its popup information. The next time members of your agency access the popup for this business object, this column will be displayed in it.
  8. Repeat steps 4-7 for each column that you want to be displayed in the popup.
