Back Button

[Jessica C]

It is always a good idea to have a "Back" button to help user to go back to the layout they just visited. Is there a function that will return the name of previous layout?

Hi Jessica,

You can use the script-step: Go To Layout [ Original Layout ]

If you want to back through several steps, it gets more complex but I use the above quite often because (if I'm using it), I KNOW where they came from and allow them to go back.

If you wish to track their progress for returning several steps, you can store the contents of Get(LayoutName) in a multiline global text field. This can then be used to re-trace their steps by using Go To Layout [by Calculation] and specifying this field (and the specific line within the field) to go backwards.

Thank you for the tip. I guess the second part of your reply is what I am looking for. Would you mind to explain a little bit more about the multiline global field?

Thanks again.
