Hi, 

I hope someone will know and can help me. 

 

I have created new page (copy of out of IFS box Safety Inspection form) Alive and Well - Safety inspection, with own process and custom fields.  IFSAPP 9.

I am trying to create new custom menu where the user goes to Safety inspections tab and when they click on the custom menu it should link them to my new page Alive and Well - Safety inspection for that specific alive and well or other. 

 

Currently I have this:

PROCESS=ca7fe1c8-529f-4302-b369-190101f4888f

 

Custom menu from Safety Inspections: 

 

ifsapf:frmTabSafetyInspection?PROCESS=ca7fe1c8-529f-4302-b369-190101f4888f&COMPANY=&COMPANY&SAFETY_INSPECTION_NO=&CF$_ALIVE_WELL_SI_NO

 

 

When I run this: it takes me to correct company and Inspection number, however it doesn’t populate and I am really stuck now, thinking it can’t be done.

 

ifsapf:frmTabSafetyInspection?PROCESS=ca7fe1c8-529f-4302-b369-190101f4888f&COMPANY=RBS&SAFETY_INSPECTION_NO=1051

 

 

 

Can anyone please advice what am I doing wrong?

 

I have also tried to past process id to Process field in Custom menu, but when I do this the menu disappears from my options. 

 

Thank you

Yes, I have used this functionality before and you’re not going to like the solution, but it works.

 

As I’m sure you’ve found out, the “Own Process” field when creating custom menus is not for the destination page but for the source own process page the custom menu will be shown

 

but what is interesting is…

 

If source page and destination page have the same exact name for the own process, then it will produce the desired result.

I kind of think of it as package of processes

 

lot of extra work depending on how many are needed, but it works..


Hi @PhillBronson  are you able to just explain a little more about this ‘

If source page and destination page have the same exact name for the own process, then it will produce the desired result.

I kind of think of it as package of processes’

I have a similar requirement where I would like to create a custom menu with transfer to a page with its own process and I cannot work it out :-(

I am on Apps 10

 


@lisa.gilesAB essentially the source and the destination page need to have the same Own Process name in order to navigate between them

 

In the custom menu area, I ask this question:

  • What Own Process page is allowed to see the custom menu?
  • Note that only that Own Process page will be able to see those menu options. In fact, it will be the only custom menu options that Own Process page will be able to see (not counting IFS standards ie: Search in Context, Edit, Print...)

 

 

In the page properties menu area, I ask this question:

  • What Own Process is allowed to see this version of a page?
  • I usually create a new item in the navigator that is a duplicate of the original page, then make that new item an Own Process. Otherwise, the default page will be a part of the Own Process, and you will lose whatever design changes you intended for that page.

 

 

 

In this example, I have an Own Process version of the Handling Units page, and I want to navigate to an Own Process version of Inventory Transactions History (ITH). The version of ITH that I want to navigate to has some specific columns, conditional formatting, and custom menus available.

 

From: Handling Units - PROCESS=ALL_HU

 

To: Inventory Transactions History - PROCESS=ALL_HU

 

With all of the Own Process pages and menus named the same thing we were able to design a process for a specific use case. You only now need to make a way to get into one of the parts of the process like a Shortcut or Link in a Lobby. There isn’t any extra permission control, that I am aware of, that can be used in conjunction with Own Process. These duplicate pages are the same presentation objects as the original they just have different configurations accessible.
