Creating and modifying screens - HxGN EAM - 12.0.1 - Help - Hexagon

Create new screens or modify existing screens by associating icons with screens and setting background-printing parameters for reports.

To view a list of current screens in the system, run the Function List Report.

1. Select Administration > Screen Configuration > Screens.

2. Click New Record.

3. Specify this information:

   Screen - Specify a unique six-character mnemonic code for the new screen, and then enter a brief description of the screen in the adjacent field.

   Class - Specify the class of the screen.

   Form Type - Select the form type for this screen.

   Parent - Specify the screen on which this new screen is based.

   Last Value - Specify the entity used by the system to "remember" the primary key field in this screen.

   Icon - Specify the name of an existing icon file to associate an icon with the screen.

   Report - Specify a report that prints (in the background) using the selected data on a screen. Also, specify background report parameters to use with this functionality.

   Employee Filter - Specify the employee type to apply to the screen.

   URL Path - Specify the URL location of the screen.

   Specify up to three parameters (:user, :password, or :org) in the URL Path to pass values to the new screen. These values must be entered in lowercase.

   Example: http://yourapp.yourserver.com?USERID=:user&PWD=:password

   Open URL in New Window - Select to display the URL in a new browser window.

   Mobile Deep Link Mapped Screen - Optionally, select the related screen of the opposing mobile application. This field supports deep linking between the EAM Transit and Digital Work apps.

   Invoke Dataspy - Select to allow users to utilize dataspy filters on this screen.

   Startup Action - Select the stage of the query process in which the screen opens:

   • No Action - Select to open the form without running a Dataspy or displaying records.

   • Run Dataspy - Select to open the form with the default Dataspy and to highlight the first record in the list.

   • Remember Dataspy - Select to open the form with the last remembered Dataspy (within the current session) with quick filter and quick sort for the form and to highlight the first record in the list.

   • Remember Last Value - Select to open the form with the last remembered value for the screen.

     Startup View - Select the view in which the screen will display when initially accessed, e.g., select Split View to indicate the screen will open in split view format, select List View to indicate the screen will open in list view format, or select Record View to indicate the screen will open in record view format.

     Split View Display - Select how the fields are displayed on the screen in the summary grid:

   • Standard - Fields are displayed in the standard format, including the code and description fields, and icons.

   • Grid Fields - Fields are displayed based on the dataspy settings. The code and description fields are not displayed

   • Mixed - Fields are displayed in a combination of standard and grid field settings, including the code and description fields, and three fields from the dataspy settings.

     Auto Refresh Timer (seconds) - Specify the time frequency in seconds in which the screen will automatically refresh. In other words, enter 15 to indicate the screen will refresh every 15 seconds.

     This feature only works in full list view mode for List View and Record View screens and user-defined grids.

4. Click Save Record.

After defining a new screen, you must authorize users to use the new screen. See Granting screen-level permissions to user groups.
