LANSA Web Functions

Summary

Important Observations

  • You can create your layouts before you create your processes and functions. The Web Functions Wizard creates a layout definition which will be used by the processes and functions once they are created. Obviously, if a function has not been created, you cannot test the link to the function.
  • Remember, the STDTABFLR field must be included in your functions as a hidden field or it can be added to DEFAULT_HIDDEN, if you wish the selected function to be highlighted.

Tips & Techniques

  • Using the Web Functions Wizard , you can quickly and easily define the layout and user navigation for your application. Try different layouts and schemas.
  • Remember to make note of the visualization and color selected, as the Wizard does not show your existing settings.
  • Think carefully when specifying the Reuse Job and Start in New Window options. You must understand the type of function executing and the navigation required to and from the function.
  • Reminder: If you are using a tool bar, you will not usually select the Start in New Window option.
  • Do not use the user defined visual style for the Horizontal Menu components.
