Hi,

Greeting of the day!

I want to show only the Branch and RespCenter segments of the dimensions of a purchase requisition line on a custom form,

as lookup entry fields.

Could we control that on a dimension entry control? Or, is there any other better way?

With best regards,

Abhinay

Hi Michal,

Thank you for your reply.

In a dimension entry control we get all the segments listed one below the other, a user can edit, enter or choose from the lookup of values. I want the similar entry fields, except for the control on the visibility of the segments. So, in my case, I want to allow the user only to edit the segments Branch and RespCenter only. Other segments would not be visible.

Please let me know, should you need more information.

With best regards,

Abhinay

Hi Abhinay,

If you want to hide or block some of the controls in the screenshot you shared, it would be a cumbersome customization as the controls are added dynamically. You have to hook in or create your own form handler to show these fields. Anyhow, it is a customization to achieve it.

As Andre mentioned its going to be a customization . I would recommend, instead of messing around with segmented entry control create separate look ups where user can select values and then you can use those values to create dimeniosn.

Hi André,

Thank you for your reply I was wondering whether deprecated DimensionLinkProvider is replaced by something else?

Hi Sukrut,

Thank you for your reply. Exactly, I do not want to change any code of the dimension control. I was wondering whether deprecated DimensionLinkProvider is replaced by something else?

Hi,

As shown in this example, we can control whether the segments would be editable.

But to control their visibility dimControl.parmDisplayedDimensionSet(dimensionAttributeSetStorage.save()); could be used.
