Hello everyone,

I have a request from my users to add the ability to add multiple workers to one NCR (It's what we use for defects on our machines)

So let's say we have NCR 00001, users want to be able to add multiple workers to it who have worked on it

I have a table called InventNonConformanceTable that holds all the NCRs.

I have created a table called InventNonConformanceWorker and added 2 fields

- InventNonConformanceID

- HCMWorkerRecId

I created a form called TCI_InventNonConformanceWorker and put my table InventNonConformanceWorker as the datasource

I then created a display menu item called TCI_InventNonConformanceWorker

I added a tab to my main form with pattern Simple List and Details

I added my form part and it looks okay, but I want the ability for users to be able to add more than just one worker responsible.

How can I achieve this?

There is no New button for this form part. Just a new button on the main from to create a new NCR

I have the same question (0)

Use Toolbar and List pattern for your tab page. There you'll have and action pane (toolbar) above the grid.

Hi Andrew,

What is the form pattern you are using for the new tab page?

If the pattern is simple list details then it will have action pane with new and delete button.

For troubleshooting you can assign each pattern and identify which form pattern will suits your scenario. Below the form design on visual studio you will see the list of controls to be added for the selected pattern.

Thanks,

Girish S.

This is me trying the toolbar and list pattern for that tab page

The new button at the top is part of the main from, not the tab....

Here is my tab page

You don't see any button above your grid because you didn't add any. You need to explicitly add buttons to your FormActionPaneControl1. I recommend you look at the link I gave you, locate the example in Visual Studio and look at how it's implemented.

Martin,

As usual, you have helped me figure out the issues I run into. Thanks for all your help. I added an Add and Remove button and it's working perfectly

I think that Microsoft could generate a lot of these controls automatically, but unfortunately it's not the case.
