Manual save

[GerthKe]

Hello,

 

I would like to make my Webdirect solution to only be able to save(commit records) with a button, the problem is, it saves whenever I click anywhere else than a field, on a computer I could live with that, but on touch-screen controls it gets really annoying, I've already disabled the auto-save feature in the layout setup, because on my tablet it literally saved after every letter I typed in. So in short, I'd like to make my webdirect solution so, that you can only save records with a save button, in pro & pro advanced I used the empty web-viewer technique, but that obviously doesnt work in a browser. So i'm open to any-and-all suggestions. 

 

Thanks In advance, 

Gerth.

Well, you may try to set script trigger which will on "Exit field" delete the value in that filed and store in some global variable.

A global variable could be placed over that field as a layer.

 

Then if you click on "Save button" the "save script" will store that value from global variable to database.

If you leave the page then always make that global variable empty.

No need for trigger complication,

The usual procedure is to create the same needed fields as globals, then when you click the save button you can do all your checks and transfer the data.
