Is there a way to set the dimensions (Max Height, Max Width) of a modal document?

I was also looking for this last week, I don't think so because you can create an extended property (FloatingDocumentSize) for a pop-up.

It would be a nice addition if this was also possible with a modal document.


Hi Harm,

It is currently not possible to influence the scaling of the opened Modal document.

Feel free to create an idea for this! Wherether or not this should be an extended property or part of the process action input parameters of the Open document process action will be up for debate. 


@Harm Horstman @groos Could you give examples of when and where you would like to use this? Also, would you want this for other screens that show up as Modal as well, like the Task and Look-up screens?

If yes, would 1 generic sizing setting work for you, or would you need to be able to be more specific per Screen Type / Task? If more specific, would it be ok if the Screen Type for Modal would apply the same settings to the Lookup screen, provided the same is used in the Subject setup?


@Arie V,  

Just one example is an stock/production planning screen where users have the option to create new work orders.

With a double-click task and process flow, we bring up a variant of the work order screen in add mode, with only a minimal number of input fields. This way, all the logic in the work order screen works and we don't have to recreate its logic in a complex task.

The idea of ​​adding popup width and -height (or something like that) as extra options in the subject seems like a good idea to me, if these values can also be set per variant. I think this can be used for many different scenarios. And yes, also for lookups it is sometimes desirable to be able to set the height and width.

Under the heading 'Lookup' this would be fine, but then be changed to 'Lookup/Popup'


Hi @Harm Horstman, I did not manage to find the idea Mark suggested, so I think that you did not create it yet. If you do, please add the example above in your idea description 😀


I can't find the idea either, it is something I could definitely use. The size is mainly a problem when using a larger screen; in our screen there is a large space between the task and the close button:

@Harm Horstman  would you like to create the idea or shall I do it instead :-)


Hi @Hugo Nienhuis,

Sorry, I think I forgot to do this, while I thought I did.

So, yes please make an Idea for this and refer to this question. 

I really see a lot of benefits. In many cases documents can work as advanced task, but it will only work if we are able to control the size.

 

 


@Hugo Nienhuis @Harm Horstman I do have a couple of Ideas related to this topic on the radar:

This is currently displaying an example of a Floating Open Document, but we could extend this idea to include both Floating and Modal documents.

This idea was initially raised on Tasks/Report pop-up, but in the conversation it is taken a bit more generic.

I suppose raising a new Idea would be a bit of overkill. Please know that @Anne Buit is planning on refining this pop-up sizing behavior in the Universal GUI very soon.


Hello @Arie V

On that note, what happened to the Universal Roadmap that gave us some idea of ​​what is coming?

Does it still exist and can you share it with the community?

 


@Harm Horstman Have updated the Universal Roadmap topic. Will soon publish more about the generic platform roadmap.
