Hi everyone,

i have a scenario, this is an inquiry form which is working on basis of parameter values, first parameter is working fine but i have to develop a functionality on second parameter on basis of /blank or given / value in parameter (Warehouse).

for example if my warehouse parameter is showing values in lookup (as it is showing six warehouses) if i pass blank value in parameter the number of warehouses should be added in grid (as per present scenario six fields should be added to grid dynamically) and only one field should be added into grid when a specific warehouse is selected.

is it possible? Experts i need your guidance.

Well, many of things are possible with enough effort, but it doesn't sounds like a good idea to me. It would be difficult, it would conflict with F&O UX guidelines and it could have negative impact on performance. If you want to display a value for each warehouse, why don't you create a separate grid with warehouses related to the selected record? It'll be easy ti to do, it'll support any number of warehouses, it'll allow filtering and sorting, it's the design users are used to from the rest of F&O...

Yes Martin,

I got your point , I found another option to do it with the "the Matrix control in a report".

it is way more easier.

Sure, a matrix control is a good way to visualize the data, if doing it in the form is not required.

Hi,

The above mentioned scenario is possible based on the parameters mentioned in the Lookup, however, adding multiple lookup parameters isn't a recommended approach as it will also impact the performance on the system. The suggestion is to add a display method for the fields to be visible based on the warehouses being selected in the lookup. This would be a recommended approach.

For example, when you pass blank value in parameters, the number of warehouses to be added should be a display field and you can add this code to the modified event handler of the lookup.
