Summary

This document explains how to call a process via RAD application, for example, from a Format Control / Display Options etc.

Question

This topic will be explained with an example.

Example:

Call a process from a Display Option, the reason is to open the "Create a Task" wizard in a separate tab in the Web Client. This Display option executes the action: opentaskwizard which call the process: cm.open.task.

All processes have an option called: "Run in Window?" which will display the process in a separate window but only in the Windows Client not in the web client. The workaround for this would be to execute a RAD application directly from the Display Option and check the option under Rad tab called: Separate Thread? The RAD application is: se.call.process.

Answer

How to do that:

1. Look for the change.view_opentaskwizard display option and do the following changes:

 

- Unique ID: change.view_opentaskwizardtest

- Action: do nothing

- GUI option: 3033

 

Under Rad tab

- RAD application: se.call.process

- Separate Thread?: true

- Names: file

                 name

- Values: $L.file

                cm.open.task

 

2. Save the changes.
