I have a view of entities which are being displayed based on an entity type filter. I now need to reorder these and would like to use the built in 2sxc functionality to do this, so I have a created a new view of the data using the "module data source" so that the ordering will work.
But how do I now make all of the existing entities of the same type (definition) appear in this new view? The view now displays one item by default and I can replace that one item. But how do I add multiple existing items? I need the Entity ID's to remain the same for Query String usage and SEO.
Thanks, hope the question makes sense.
Cheers
I believe that you are asking "how can I add many items to an instance (module) manually, so that I can also sort them manually" - is this correct?
If yes, then you must make sure your template supports lists (checkbox in the template settings). This then gives you a [+] button; but you don't want to use that, as it would be for typing in new data. There's another button called "add an empty demo entry" which you'll see as a round (+) after pressing the more ... button once. Pressing this will give you empty entries, into which you can then replace existing items.

I want to remove the buttons for Share and Add to Records on the New Note action but I cannot find documentation that support this. I need this for a single object on the database. Is this possible? New Note page
I have tried to create a custom related list using Visualforce and creating a Notes custom object but neither one fits the usecase perfectly.
Ok so this problem is probably easily solvable, but since I am a beginner in Salesforce and I didn't find anything useful on Google, I am asking if someone can please help me.
So, as you can see, I have created a custom object called Students, and added some fields to it.
Next, I have created a custom object tab, called Student, as you can see on the following image and added some records.
On the custom object tab, only field 'Student Name' is shown. Does anybody know how to display all (or some) of the fields that were added to the object Student?
Thank you so much for your answers and have a great day :)
On the far right of the 2nd screenshot there's a gear/cog icon. Use it for o create new "list view". Or click that "recently viewed", change it to "all" (there should be an auto-generated one for you) and use that gear icon to select which fields to display.
You can even pin the list view to be your default if you don't want "recently viewed".
As for recently viewed itself - it's special, the gear icon won't work. Follow this article: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_recent_records_list_lex.htm&type=5
I'm new to creating Layouts in Filemaker (I'm not using the latest version; am using Filemaker 14 Advanced instead), and I need to know: How can I conditionally/programmatically hide and show drop-down menus on the Layout, based on a selection in another drop-down menu? For instance: Let's say I have a drop-down menu called "Race," and it has three selections: "Human, Vampire, Werewolf." If I choose "Human," I want another drop-down menu called "Class" to appear; if I choose "Vampire," I want a different drop-down menu, called "Clans," to appear instead; if I choose Werewolf, then I want a drop-down menu called "Tribes" to appear. How can I engineer this using Filemaker's built-in language, or is there some other way to do it? Step-by-step instructions and/or code, please; like I said, I'm really, really new to this and to databases in general. Thanks!
You can conditionally hide layout objects by putting a calculation in the Hide Object When blank in the Behavior section of the Data tab on the Inspector palette.
That said, there are relational ways to have your dropdowns change their contents based selections in other fields. That is a lot more flexible, but (of course) more complex. What you want to set up is called a Dynamic Value list and is based on the values in a related table, filtered by the choices you made in the previous fields.
The calculation basically boiled down to just a single "equals" statement, or a bunch of them, simply singling out the value that would need to be selected in order to hide the layout objects I wanted hidden. Thanks for the help, guys! :-)
In my case, I wanted the new dropdown menus to stay shown even if many options were chosen in the first menu. I used the Pattern Count function (https://fmhelp.filemaker.com/help/10/fmp/en/html/func_ref3.33.73.html) to specify that if the answer to the last dropdown menu contained this optioned checked, the new menu would be shown by writing the following : Not PatternCount(table::variable;"text in one of the options")
Another question for you Filemaker Pro experts. The database I am developing starts with a Main layout with a number of buttons (e.g. insert new item, show all items, etc.). Each button is associated to a script, which takes the user to the relevant layout. In each of these layouts I show the buttons in a row, and highlight the current layout with inverse colour.
My problem is that some of the buttons lead to the same layout, viewed in different modes, and I don't know how to conditionally highlight the right button.
For instance, Insert new item and Show all items take to the same layout, however in the first case the script views the layout as a form and inserts a new record, while in the second I view as a list and show all records. The layout is the same, though, so I'd need to enact a conditional formatting based on something. How do I do that, and what should I check against?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards.
Presumably you are currently using the formula: Get (LayoutName) to decide on your conditional formula, why not try additionally using formulas: Get(WindowMode) and Get(LayoutViewState)?
You could conditionally format the button if (which sends user to MyLayout in browse mode):
Get(WindowMode)=0 and Get(LayoutName)="MyLayout"
Or (which sends user to MyLayout in form view):
Get(LayoutViewState)=0 and Get(LayoutName)="MyLayout"
.
Other functions which may help could be Get(FoundCount) and Get(TotalRecordCount). You can see the entire list of Get functions here.
I was wondering if there is a way to override the native functionality of the lookup field in Salesforce and replace it with a visualforce page. The reason I'm trying to override this button is because when the user does a look up, the look up returns everybody with that name. What we want to return is a list of all the contacts by account for the contact being searched.
Here's what I'm trying to achieve:
When the user clicks the lookup button my visualforce page will launch and allow the user to see the account and all the contacts of that account.
Is this even possible? What other ways would you suggest going about this?
Here's a screen shot of what I'm trying to change:
Thanks for all your help!
It sounds really like you just need to customise the columns on the lookup to make it better suited to your needs. If you go to Setup -> Customize -> Contacts -> Search Layouts, you'll see entries for Lookup Dialogs and Lookup Phone Dialogs, there you can edit the columns displayed in the lookup windows.
If you really need a custom solution:
You can't override the lookup page itself, but you could create a new visualforce page for your account, using <apex:detail> and other similar tags to make your life simpler. Then you could include a search section underneath, where a user can enter various search terms which you put into a dynamic SOQL query and then render the results for them to choose from.
yeah its possible by javascript as i did by visual force page that will show the records of related lists and upon selection id of that record passed to parent window by jscipt. and performed same functionality ..
As far as I know - NO.
As a workaround you can use JavaScript.
What we did in our situation? We implement everything in JavaScript. We created an inputText and right on the right of this inputText we placed image with this lookup icon. On image click we create ExtJS popup window (I think you can simply create VF page and show this page in popup window). After window was closed you fill in the inputText field.
There's no out-of-the-box override for this button, last I checked, so something custom would be required. If you're set on having a popup and do not want an inline solution, I'd recommend reviewing this tutorial to get familiar with some of the issues with popups in Visualforce.
But considering what you are looking to accomplish, you could also have your account and filtered list of all contacts associated with that account appear inline on your page when the user clicks a new, custom search button. Of course that page would itself be in Visualforce (or inline Visualforce in a standard page layout) - which you may or may not want to have to code and maintain.
The AJAX Toolkit might also be a good place to start if you want to go with a custom JavaScript button placed on a standard page layout.
