Clicking on a record to bring up a different layou

[nightdesigns]

Not quite sure how to explain this. I've seen it done, but can't figure out how they did it. In a list view, if you click on the title of a record, it will take you to a different layout. Within the layout will be another list and if youclick it takes you to that info. Ideas on how you can chane layouts with just a click on the title? A "define button" was not used, and nothing is under the scripts.

There has to be a button there somewhere. That's the only way to jump to another layout by clicking on a record. It may be hidden behind something. Use the "Show Buttons" option in the view menu.

Hi,

As mentioned previously, you must 'utilize' a button to change to a different layout.

This can be accomplished a number of ways. Here are two ideas:

A. In your list layout:

- create a button to the left side of the fields listed

- 'define button' to go to another layout

-- this can be setup to allow entry into the fields on the list layout

-- this works good for allowing users to make minor record changes

B. In your list layout:

- create a 'transparent' button that will 'cover' all fields in the list layout

- 'define button' to go to another layout

-- this can be setup to NOT allow entry into the fields on the list layout

-- this works good for switching users to the layout with all record info

-- this also helps users understand where to edit record data

Hope this helps...

Try this...

Make a field in the list a button. Write a script to assign to the button that does the following...

1) if... the field is <=0 then go to that field (this will allow you to enter data in that field when you click on it only if its empty)

2) else... perform another script (which could be written to take you to another layour or perform some other function)

You can do this to any or all field in the layout.
