Is there away to create Pages of Type "Card" without Groups but still get the benefit of having the fields on the page put (neatly) in 2 columns?
If not, is there a way to avoid having to name those Groups? (imo, card page is cleaner without the names and when there's only 1 group,the group name sometimes can be redundant)
Lastly, must I have Groups on Card Pages in order to utilize the Actions functionality on those same pages?
Thanks
Heinrich, thanks again for your time and effort. I will try this out.
Appreciatively,
Anthony
Hi,
Sorry, I got it wrong. But I found the correct way. Use grids. I created this:
Using the following code:
Heinrich, that is not the behavior that I see.
Card pages without groups show the fields as 1 column, regardless of the amount of space (pls see pic).
Removing groups on card pages with many more fields shows me that they don't go into a 2nd column even when they reach the bottom of the page.
Perhaps I am doing something wrong. thx
It should only display 2 columns if the fields are more that the vertical space on the page. It first fills the fields in the left column until it runs out of space and then starts on the right column.
Please mark as answered if you are satisfied.
Heinrich, I appreciate the reply & advice (from both you & NorthW).
Just to clarify... the answer as to whether we can create a Card Page without groups but still retain the two columns of fields is "no", Correct?
thanks
Hi,
What NorthW suggested is the best option. Remember you cannot tell BC how to stack fields on a card better than the above since it automatically places them based on the available space on the webpage. That is why the fast tabs (groups) are so powerful since it allows you to show to the user what is important while hiding fields which may be used less often.
Honestly, the whole system works like this and it would be better to just adapt to this methodology rather than changing pages.
Hope this helps.
Heinrich
NorthW, thanks for the reply / suggestion.
As laid out, I think that this accomplishes creating a Card page without groups, but it doesn't seem to accomplish getting them into the typical 2 column format. The reason that I need this is for a few pages with many fields. In these scenarios, Card Pages with a single column of fields don't display data well at all... aren't user friendly.
Pls lmk if I've misunderstood what you're suggesting.
thanks again
It will work perfectly fine to have a page without groups like this:
page 50100 CustCard
{
Caption = 'CustCard';
PageType = Card;
SourceTable = Customer;
layout
{
area(content)
{
field("No."; Rec."No.")
{
ToolTip = 'Specifies the value of the No. field.';
ApplicationArea = All;
}
field(Name; Rec.Name)
{
ToolTip = 'Specifies the value of the Name field.';
ApplicationArea = All;
}
}
}
actions
{
area(Processing)
{
action(MyAction)
{
}
}
}
}
