Automatically open links

How Can We Help?

< Back

In version 2.2.4 of XMPro Act, we have introduced the ability to automatically navigate to Object Group rows with a single tap, instead of the default behavior of single taps drilling down into the Object Group row and double taps navigating to the row. The Object Group row needs a Hyperlink to navigate to, which can be either to a First Activity, Pending Activity or to a File (uploaded or static).

This can quickly be set up on any activity by adding two reference labels:

  • xxxAutoOpenLinks – Setting the value of this reference label to true (via script) will cause single taps to navigate to Object Group rows.
  • xxxAutoOpenEmptyMessage – If an Object Group row does not have a link to navigate to, the activity will display a message to the user, where the message is the value of this reference label.

The AutoOpenEmptyMessage label is not strictly required, however without it a user tapping on a row with now navigation link won’t do anything, and they won’t have any feedback that there is an issue.

Example:

When a user taps one of the Object Group rows in this activity which have an invoice, they will be taken straight to the invoice, instead of being taken to the drill-down of the row.

 

If a user taps one of the rows which don’t have an invoice, they will be presented with a popup informing them there is no invoice to navigate to.
