User Home Button / Tab location

Unread post by toms »

Hi,

When creating and saving a Fast Form, a button is created on the "Fast Forms"-tab of the User Home Form. How to move the button to another (custom) tab?
I tried adding a new tab by opening the button object (then Form Tab --> Add). But this newly created tab is nowhere to be seen.

Update: I figured that tabs can be added in the (system/invisible) nuuserhome form. Is there an easier/better way to do it?

This is where I add the tab, not in the Form Properties:

toms,

I have removed that Add Button so no one tries to add a record from the Lookup. (You'll need to run Update after pulling from Github again)

You will need to add Tabs from here...

If I have right understood the lookup object has been left without the add button whereas there are applications that need it. One example?
Think only to a vocational school and a form to enroll students in courses with two lookup in it: one for the course and the other for the student (that may be enrolled in more than one course) to enroll.
When you click the lookup for the student the popup will display the available students and if the one to enroll is new he/she needs to be added from that lookup with the add button because the enrollment procedure has to validate the input in order to create the final record in the enrollment table.
That process of the enrollment is the only possible instead of: adding a student in the student table and afterward from the enrollment form select him/her with a lookup fpr the course because of that two steps may be bring in a situation where there could be students (in the student table) without his/her enrollment; the one step process avoid that potential possibility (requirement of that application) because it will use one form with two lookups: srudent and course and the record in the enrollment table will be created only after both has been selected
The best option is to let the user the option to have a lookup with the add button since there are many applications that may need it.

Thank you.

It's only been removed for the Tab Form Lookup.
