Can't get an object into context

Any suggestions, please?

1) Just keep passing the Zone along as Process Input, even if that process isn't using it, or
2) LIRU - save it when they pick the zone

Except the user is not in a process - they are just navigating starting at a Query.

Jaymer

But they are clicking on a button on a query line - set from "Operations with records"
So instead of the built-in "Edit Object" action (or another query), make it run a process to save the LIRU and then give them the next screen.

Not sure if I understand the relationship between Zone and SupplyItem correctly from your diagram, but....I would try...

In the Supply Items Form where you have the Look Up of a Supply Item BO....

Let's first make a distinction between the two....

The Zone Supply Items BO: SupplyItem
The Supply Request Supply Item BO: RequestSupplyItem

The Filter on a Combo in RequestSuppplyItem for SupplyItem could be...

FIND SupplyItem WHERE COUNT SupplyItem WHERE (SupplyItem.ps_Zone = RequestSupplyItem.ob_Account.ob_Zone)>0

Like Jaymer said, when the Zone is clicked, first store the Zone in a LIRU attribute, let's say Selected_Zone.

When you later are creating the Supply Request, simply filter the Supply Items by LoggedInRegularUser.SelectedZone

When the zone is clicked... how do I capture that event?

tford

In a process rule:

LoggedInRegularUser.Selected_Zone=Zone

Be sure that Zone is listed in as a process input.

Bruce told me once that almost always when he has a button on a Query, instead of it running something directly (using the builtin pulldowns) he calls a process to save some value(s) in LIRU, then continues. That way you can alway store the Cust#, or Order#, or whatever to use in the future.

So, if you're going to click on a Zone record in a Zone query...
instead of (Edit) button doing an Edit Object, it starts a process passing Zone and stores info in LIRU, then it can EDIT zone USING xxx, OR
instead of (Account) button Running Query "Show Account", it starts a process passing Zone and stores info in LIRU, then runs the Account query or brings up the Account form.

I think I may have to do that.
