Automatically open links

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 ActivityA specific step in a process.  It will be the user interface for that step (web form or a screen), for example, the Leave Application (screen interface or web form) will be the first Activity in the Leave Requisition process.  The Leave Application Authorization will be the second step or Activity in the Leave Requisition process.  One Process can have multiple activities., 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.
