Need help on Frameset - Frame x Document

Greetings!

I have a problem with Frameset and maybe someone could give me a light…

Frameset with two frames.

Frame “A” with a view, showing documents created in “FormA”.

But this “FormA” is way too long, and I would like to show, in Frame “B”, only some fields from “FormA”.

Whenever I select one document from the view in Frame “A”, only some fields from this document would be exhibited in Frame “B”.

I´ve tried with the “Target for links…” and whenever I select the doc in Frame “A”, all the document is exhibited in Frame “B”…

Any help would be greatly appreciated, but please explain in details.

Thanks in advance,

Rubens

Hi Rubens,

If fields that must be seen in frame “b” are always the same:

  1. hide the fields : sixth tab of field properties, example : check “Open for read”

or

  1. create a second form, let’s say : “read_form”, with only the fields which you want and, in view objects, for “form formula” put something like this:

Rem {if doc is edited use “your_form” else use “read_form” };

@if (@IsdocBeingEdited; “your_form”; “form for read”)

look for “Form formulas” in Designer help.

HTH,

Thierry

Hi Thierry.

Thanks for your help, it really works, but…

Whenever using the frameset, I get what I want.

But if I double-click a document in the view, instead of opening the document in its “full” version, I get the “short” version. The full version only appears if I double-click again and edit the document.

Not every user has the right to edit the document, but they need to see all data.

The idea of having the frameset scenario is to show only essential data from each doc while navigating through the view. But whenever double-clicking the document, it is necessary to open it with the original (“full”) form…

Is there any way to check if the user performed a double-click and, in addition to your original formula, add a condition to open the doc using the original form?

One click (navigating in the view) = Short form (in Frame “B”), to see only essential data;

Double-Click = Original form (full screen), to see (and edit, if the user has the necessary rights) all data.

Again I thank you for your help.

Hi Rubens,

To restrict access to certain parts of a document, use Controled access sections, look Designer Help for more info…
