Hello,
I need a little help to develop little alert when someone save new record because I want that user will be sure to clone the object before subscribe the new record.
I see that many user when add multiple record don't pay attention to clone the last record before start edit new one.
Someone can help me?
Many thanks
Regards
ANdrea

Andrea,
Are you saying that noone can edit an old record, they can only edit a cloned record?

NO no,
problem was about clone procedure.
When user want to clone a record can happened that he don't clicl clone and so edit the old field,
I can show an alert when someone clic save with write "are you sure to have clone?".
Thanks for hlep

Andrea,
you can use nuBeforeClone() function in
Javascript tab to capture the
clone event and do something; there could be more ways.
1st way (a simple workaround solution):
- create a text object on the form (better readonly) that informs users if that is a new/cloned record or a modified record:
- textObject.png (25.15 KiB) Viewed 13827 times
- insert this SQL in
Default value SQL object field
- text object on edit screen
- editScreen.png (2.17 KiB) Viewed 13827 times
Text is displayed only when a new record is inserted or an existing record is cloned.
2nd way:
- insert this code in Javascript tab:
Code: Select all
function nuBeforeClone() {
return confirm('Are you sure to clone this record?');
}
- alert on clone procedure
- alert.png (8.28 KiB) Viewed 13827 times
so the user have to confirm the clone procedure before he start to modify something.
3th way.
If you want to be
sure and alert on saving record you might (I never tryed this):
- create a text object as explained above (you may use also an hidden field);
- in nuBeforeSave() function check the value of the object and ask user to confirm.
Hope this helps,
Max
