Relatively new to C/AL development. We have a FactBox page that contains a repeater with a Temporary table page source. The number of lines in the FactBox matches the number of lines in the parent page. The temporary records in the FactBox are accumulated one at a time based on a call from the parent page OnAfterGetRecord trigger. They are loaded into the FactBox based on a call from the parent page OnAfterGetCurrRecord trigger.
1a. For purposes of discussion, lets say there are 10 records in the parent page and in the FactBox page. How do I highlight the matching row in the FactBox when the user selects a given row in the parent page (e.g. they select row 3, I want to highlight row 3 in the FactBox)?
1b. How do I highlight multiple rows if the user selects multiple rows with Shift+Click or Ctrl+Click?
In the case of 1a above, OnAfterGetRecord is fired in the parent page with a filter equal to the key. In the second case, OnAfterGetRecord is fired in the parent page for each record selected by the user with a filter equal to 'Marked: Yes'. If I try to use Mark in the FactBox page, it filters the records so that only the selected ones are displayed in the FactBox, which is not what I want.
We are using 2013R2, although I would be interested in answers for other versions as well.
Thanks in advance for any ideas and/or suggestions.
PS. The FactBox is kind of a summary at a glance idea for each list row contained in the parent page. It contains a handful of temporary table fields that are populated from the parent page row primary key when the parent page OnAfterGetRecord and OnAfterGetCurrRecord triggers are fired. There is a 1 to 1 relationship between parent page lines and FactBox lines.
Basically, instead of having the FactBox oriented vertically displaying data only for the active parent page row, we transposed the FactBox vertical fields into a horizontal row of fields and display one row of FactBox data for each row of parent page data. The FactBox resyncs when the user sorts the parent page by clicking on the headers, etc.
Now I can’t even imagine your business case. Maybe if you spill it you will get a better advice.
Short answer for what you’re asking is.. you can’t. And you don’t want to. This is a factbox. It should provide extended information about line which you don’t want to put into repeater or fasttab because it is from related table. Hence the limitations.
And one more thing. Nav is very limited in terms of different fancy events and triggers. The only way to make it more advance is to write your own visual plugin which will replace most of the page’s interface. There you can do whatever JS (for example) allows you to do.

I have a child column and depends on a parent column value, filter/sort options are not available for the child column.
I'm facing similar issue posted on https://community.oracle.com/tech/developers/discussion/4313940/interactive-grid-column-filter-disappears-for-columns-having-value-in-cascading-lov-parent-column-s
I see the thread is closed as intended behavior. As a workaround, I tried creating two page items (LOV's) for parent & child and changed my IG query to include where condition based on the page items. So users can filter the data by page items. However that doesn't work either.
Does that mean there is no way to filter/sort the child items on IG?
I want to have a condition where IF Delivered column checkbox is checked, then that whole row will be deleted. Is that feasible?
How can I start with it?
Formulas can't change the condition of an item (like a row), only the value in a cell. So, in other words, you can't delete a row with a formula.
You "could" do this with an external script using the Smartsheet API, but you'll want to take situations that #Ken White mentioned in the comments into account. Your script should make sure that there is a way for users to recover the deleted row if the box is checked by mistake.
There are a couple of ways this might be possible. If you set up a default filter on a sheet to always load rows where complete box is unchecked, then, if you checked off a task or two and reloaded the sheet those tasks would not be visible the next time it loads.
To do this:
Create a new filter.
Title it and check the Share Filter checkbox
Set the criteria to the checkbox is unchecked
Then click okay
Save the sheet to save the shared filter.
Click on SHARE
Scroll down and click edit next to the default view
Set the filter to new filter you saved
Save.
Check off some boxes and save the sheet.
Reload the sheet and the completed items will not be visible.
I'm using the page below a POS sales list. Here the user can use the barcode pistol and pass the article and the code is translated into the item no.
The problem is when they use the pistol and end to pick a item and want to pass to next one the line go automatically to the first column (Item type) and my goal was to force to go into the second column (Item no), because the Item type is by default the type "product".
Only change the order of columns of Item no to Item product is not enough in this case.
Since ACTIVATE is not supported for controls in RTC.
Not many good options here.
Try using QuickEntry Property. Set it to false for all controls on subpage except No..
Create custom page with as less fields as possible, use it as buffer to scan all items and create sales lines upon closing of this new page. You can implement desired behavior on this page and keep original page almost unmodified
Create add-in that will intercept scanner output somehow.
I have several tabs. There is a date picker on each tab. I need that date to be the same on all tabs no matter what. So, if the user changes the date on Tab 1, then goes to tab 2, the date on tab 2 will have changed also. I have never created an application level item before and I thought that might be the most efficient way to accomplish what I need (by setting that item's value to the date the user selected). My problem is that I don't know how to set the value of the application item and also how to retrieve that value on another tab.
You didn't describe what exactly you're trying to do, but - if each tab represents its own table, why do you keep the same date value in all of them? Doesn't look like a normalized data model. Consider using a single date column (in one - master - table) and use (i.e. reference) it in others (i.e. details).
As of your question: How about creating a global page (i.e. page 0) and having a date picker item on it? You can display it on any other page you want. For example, if you set its value while on tab 1 and then move on to tab 3, you can again modify that value which will be visible on all other pages. Basically, you'd maintain just one item instead of as many as number of tabs involved. (BTW, doesn't that remind you of what I described in the first paragraph?).
Alternatively, create a date picker item on tab 1 page; on all other pages, create a "lookup" (display) item which would simply display what's been selected on tab 1. That's easy to do, just make its source to be an "Item", such as P1_DATE_ITEM.
In Shared Components > Application Items create new Item called G_DATE.
Then for every datepicker add Dynamic Action on Event Change.
In True action Set Value select Type PL/SQL Expression with code
:G_DATE := :P1_DATEPICKER1;
and Items to Submit :P1_DATEPICKER1
Next in every datepicker Source set Type PL/SQL Expression with code
:G_DATE
used Always (...)

I am trying to dynamically hide a table column in LiveCycle Designer. The table spans multiple pages, and there is a header row at the top of each page. When I set the presence of the header row cell to "hidden", only the cell on the first page is hidden. How do I hide the header row cells on subsequent pages?
I accomplished this by creating an additional section with its own sub-record detail to house what would span multiple pages and left the original section to house only the header record.
So the breakdown looked something like this in the Hierarchy pane:
MainForm
+-MasterPage (Main layout)
+-subForm (Layer over Main page)
+-SubFormDetail (Sub For on Layer)
+-MainTable (Primary Table)
+-HeaderSection (Section to display first page only header)
+-DetailSection (Section to display multi-page rows)
+-DetailRows (Rows to display each records data)
Although admittedly this may not be the best method to accomplish what you are trying to do, it worked for my needs.
Hope that helps.
