I have been tasked with creating a single page with 3 tabs - Labor Hours, Equipment Hours & Production Hours

Each tab corresponds to its own custom entity (and corresponding projection) used to store data being imported from a 3rd party jobsite application that will ultimately be used for reporting, cost accounting, forecasting, etc. 

I created the custom entities, and the integrations are working well. The data is loading into the new tables, but I cannot seem to figure out how to display the data from each entity on the same page because the page is created as an extension of a specific projection (Equipment, in my case), and once set, I cannot figure out how to include data from the other projections. 

We are on IFS Cloud 24R1 if it matters.

Here is a screenshot of the expected design:
 

Tabbed Lists

 

@Hotdog Have you tried bringing them in as custom fields from the multiple entities to the custom page?

I have not. When adding virtually anything, the only data available to me is that which is in the primary projection. I cannot seem to access any data not in that projection. This isn’t a form or detail view. Just a basic list the project manager can use to review the data and be sure the integration is working. The page has no real long-term value - just a temporary window into the data while we are configuring the integration. 

I have created 3 separate Quick Reports that he can use to see the data, but that’s not what he wants, unfortunately. 

@Hotdog Try adding the fields from the other data sources as custom fields to the Primary Projection that the custom page is referencing. They should then be available to be brought into the screen on the custom page. 

Ex: if your custom page is referencing the Customer Order projection. and you need fields from another screen say Order_NO from Purchase Order screen. Add the Order_NO field to the Customer order projection as a custom field. You should then see it available from the drop down on your custom page. 

 

Hope this helps!

You can create a new projection and add all three entities to it.

Note that when adding standard entities, you can only make them read only, where as create, update and/or delete can be allowed for custom entities.

Also note that having several tabs on the one page is probably considered an old design pattern. It was common in IFS Applications, but IFS Cloud/Aurena use separate pages for each entity. That also makes navigation to the page easier.
