I want to have a form that I can open from my menu directly. To do this, I've created a variant, linked it to a screentype with only a form, and added it to my menu. This went well. I've also deleted some of the buttons at the bottom to leave only the Add and Refresh button. I've also checked 'Start empty with filter’.

I'm almost where I want to be. The user must still push the + button to activate the form. I want the form to be active by default so the user can start typing right away. How can this be done?

Many thanks in advance!

Hey Marcel,

To achieve that you can create a process flow with two process actions, namely:

  • Open document - Here you name the menu item (table variant)
  • Add record - The GUI will automatically jump into adding mode

Attach the process actions in the following manner: 

Start → Open document → Add record → Stop

What it will do is, when you open the specific menu item, the process flow will make the GUI open the document (table variant) and jump into adding mode.

That should do the trick, hope it helps you out!

Kind regards,
Mark Jongeling

Thank you Mark for your quick reply. Sounds like a plan! I'll try and add this to our application tomorrow. I'll let you know if there are any issues.
