As we know Menu Item is of three type (Display,Action & Output). In action type we we write classes which runs in background. Action type menu item is attached to a form but in the drop down the menu item is not appearing, what could be the problem? Is there any property which sets action menu-item to show or not?
Please note that it is a scenario based question. I don't have any code for this to share. Thanks
It could be several things.
First of all, are you testing with a user having System Administrator role? If not, security will apply. Then, if your menu item isn't allowed in one of your roles (menu item in a privilege which is in a duty which is in a role you have), you can't see it.
The other common issue is form personalization. So, in the contextual menu over your form, choose personalize and with buttons on top right, restore the form. You will have to close and reopen the form then.

I've got a question about the ShortcutKey Property.
When I add a Shortcut to an Action on a Card- or Listpage.
-> The Shortcut works perfectly.
But when I add a Shortcut to an Action on a NavigatePage.
-> The same Shortcut used above doesn't work for example for the Action "back".
Structure of my NaviagtePage
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? (BC190, OnPrem)
ShortCutKey = 'Shift+Ctrl+D';
Apparently, this is the Business Central menu design. Shortcut keys apply only to menu actions. Quoting Microsoft documentation:
ShortcutKey Property
Sets a shortcut key for selecting a menu item.
Wizard pages do not display menu ribbon, but show actions as buttons in the footer bar, so shortcut keys don't work on these actions. There is no official confirmation in any documentation, but it can be indirectly confirmed by the structure of wizard pages in the Microsoft BaseApp, none of which have action shortcuts defined.
I’m working on customization where I prepared customized Customer form and Case Entry form.
In the Case Entry I have button that should launch customized Customer form.
Is it any other way to do it than adding new menu item for customized Customer?
Assuming I have understood your question correctly, a very similar question was asked on EpiUsers: https://www.epiusers.help/t/launch-customized-form-code/62207/5
Here's a snippet from the post. The link gives a lot more info with screenshots:
You can always create a New Menu ID under Processes section of the tree in Menu Maintenance, so it won’t show up on Menu selection, but then you can call it via code.
Is there a way to call it without adding it, I am sure one could debug what Epicor calls when you enter Customization Mode and select a layer. I believe its possible, I just haven’t taken the time to debug it, because I always use the Menu Maintenance instead, because layer names change and relying on a special layer name is more fragile than adding a Menu Item under Processes section in Menu Maintenance – Plus then you can re-purpose the same Menu ID everywhere easily, without hardcoding layer names.
This way, you can keep the standard Customer form in place on the menu, but use the button to launch the customization. Hope this helps!
I am developing a database solution in Filemaker Pro 16. I have a "customers" and "projects" table.
What I want to achieve is the following:
User clicks on a button
New window appears in which the user selects a customer from a drop down list
New project will be created
New window appears in which the user can enter the project information.
How can I do this. One can think, of course of an additional table in which temporary values are stored. In that case, I can store my customer selection in this table. However, what about concurrency. What if two people are going to add a project at the same time? In that case you would need a temporary values table for each user.
The most straightforward solution would be to directly store the selected customer in a variable. However, I don't think you can do that.
PS: I don't want to use a Custom Dialog. In that case, I think, you cannot add a drop down list.
Hope someone can help!
Use a Popover button for your customer selection.
Place your Drop Down list in the Popover panel, and store the Customer ID in a global field (they are local for each user).
Perform your script and navigate to your project layout upon selection, for instance using an OnObjectModify Script Trigger.
beginner question for sitecore about settings the right.
So I have an item is open in the page editor.
The renderings on the page has bunch of icons on the ribbon. One of them called 'select the parent element (element name)'.
In my case when I click on it, I am presented with the placeholder with button 'add here' and the ribbon with some component buttons that a user can use to add the controls.
So, QUESTION:
"how I add access to the button on that ribbon for certain role? Where do I set it up? "
For some certain role that placeholder's ribbon is completely empty, including there is no button 'select the parent element' even though
i know there is a parent element.
thank you very much for help,
HF
Here are the screenshots (no icons on the placeholder ribbon, and the user's rights:
enter image description here
And here is how that looks for the admin:
All the settings for the Page Editor are held in the Core database. So in the Sitecore Desktop, switch to the core database and open up the Content Editor.
Navigate to : /sitecore/content/Applications/WebEdit
This item holds the items that make up the page editor. To edit the ribbon menues, go to:
/sitecore/content/Applications/WebEdit/Ribbons
I don't remember seeing that particular button in the Core database, so this is likely a built-in feature that requires the user to have one of the built-in permissions.
The first thing I would check is that Designing is turned on. Have the user go to the 'View' tab in Page Editor and make sure they have checked the 'Designing' checkbox.
If that doesn't work, it sounds like the user you have does not have design access to the page. I would examine the inherited roles using the User Manager and check if they have the Sitecore Designer role inherited.
It is possible they just need to be provided the correct role in the system so that they can access the buttons.
Have you tried the "Sitecore Client developing role"?
Also, for the blue arrow drop list location, in order for the rendering button to show up in that location, you have to check whether the button in the webedit folder under core database(/sitecore/content/Applications/WebEdit/Default Rendering Buttons). The Type field needs to be "Common" in order to show up in the blue arrow droplist.
Example can be the "Edit related item" (/sitecore/content/Applications/WebEdit/Default Rendering Buttons/Edit related item) shows up in the blue arrow droplist.
I've some data that can be shown on grid attached on a panel. When user clicks some button i'm showing this panel. Now i wanted to launch this grid in a separate window(should be a child to existing window) and want to make the grid editable, click controls...etc, is it possible?
thanks in advance.
You should be able to achieve this effect by placing your grid on a separate form, complete with editing stuff. Disable the form and set its parent, (see control.parent), to be the main form panel. When the user wants to edit it, set the grid-form parent to nil and enable it.
Not actually tried this with WinForms, but it works fine with Delphi VCL so worth a test if no better answers are forthcoming
