How can I call AwareApp.startProcess2 from a CUSTOM LAYOUT?

Post by Jaymer »

A Custom layout (in my case from a KanBan query) is kinda like the movie Interstellar - everything's not quite what you think.

Many of us call AwareApp.startProcess2 (or a variation) from many places:
•) simple HTML link
•) Execute_Javascript from a screen button
•) EXEC_JS from a procedure
•) Render script, sets up an on-click on a Grid cell
etc etc

But I can't figure out the syntax to embed this inside a <b>Custom Layout</b>.

@Himanshu
The Manufacturing app of your client that we saw in Tampa... that uses icons for functions on the KanBan card... Thats where I want to do it.
Right now I'm using a Row Operation to call a form - so I have the DEFAULT Row Action as an Edit Object.
But I want to add an ICON to go somewhere else.

Hopefully someone can contribute a working example of code to call this.

Thx

Not sure I understand the question, are you saying you cannot use a simple HTML link with the AwareApp function in a simple HTML link in a custom layout? If so, why doesn't it work?

I use a bunch of custom layouts and often use the AwareApp functions in the layout e.g executed via a icon the user can click and works but again, I am maybe not understanding the question.
