editObject

I have a form that presents a child BO. I want to display one of the fields from the Parent object as a URL on the child form. I should be able to use the action editObject or some other variation to do this. I might want to use the same action as a VIEW BO.

How do I accomplish this? I know that I can add a HTML URL on the form, but I don't know the proper syntax for the URL. I see references to AwareIM operations within Appendix D, but none that make reference to the View object or Edit object operations.

The syntax should be:
<a href="javascript:AwareApp.editObject(objectName,objectId,renderOption);"> Your URL Text</a>

The call to editObject should be as explained in the User Guide.

I just downloaded the User Guide. I don't see any reference to the editObject in Appendix D. I see one reference to the editObject as part of URL parameters.

What is wrong with the following syntax? I get a requested resource not available.

I'm not sure, but try:

1) 'Company' --> remove the '

2) javascript:: --> only one :

rgates@ttcdas.com

Same error 🙁

To make sure you have the rest of the syntax correct, try replacing <<Contact.Company_ID>> with a known Company_ID.

rgates@ttcdas.com

The following error is what I receive:

type Status report

message /AwareIM/%E2%80%9Djavascript:AwareApp.editObject(Company,154379,'main');%E2%80%9D

description The requested resource (/AwareIM/%E2%80%9Djavascript:AwareApp.editObject(Company,154379,'main');%E2%80%9D) is not available.

Also, the User Guide in Appendix D shows the following command w/2 colons. Maybe that is a typo considering support responded w/only 1 colon.

It should definitely be one colon. You cannot use tags in parameters - as Tom said, you should use a specific id.

Another variation you can try is:
<a href=”#" onclick="AwareApp.editObject('Company',12345,'main')” >Name of the link</a>

Next question --- the form displays with just a Save button but no Back button. Is there any way to control this behavior?

I switched from main to new_tab which gave me back the "Back" button.

It gives me the Close button which basically does what I was looking for.
