ENTER NEW

Action, Action List, Business Object, Process, UI

This action is similar to the CREATE action in that it creates a new instance of a business object. Unlike the CREATE action it lets the user fill in the initial values of the business object. The action displays a form for the specified business object and waits for the user to provide the initial values of the attributes and submit them to the system.

ENTER NEW Id() [ WITH AttributeIdentifier() = ArithmeticExpression() ( , AttributeIdentifier() = ArithmeticExpression() )* ] [ USING Id() or StringLiteral() ] [ FORM_SECTION Id() or StringLiteral() ] [ AND VIEW | AND VIEW IN TAB | FORCE POPUP ]

where Id() is the name of the business object to create. For example,

ENTER NEW Account

note If the name of the business object group is specified in the action, AwareIM will first display a list of all members of the group and when the user selects the name of the required business object, AwareIM will display a form for this object.

note It is possible to optionally indicate initial values of the attributes using the WITH keyword. The syntax is the same as for the CREATE action. The form will be pre-populated with the supplied values (this initialization though is not available for groups – see previous note). For example:

ENTER NEW Account WITH Account.Name='John Smith'

note It is possible to optionally indicate the name of the specific form of the business object that will be used when entering the object, for example:

ENTER NEW Account USING 'Form for administrators'

where 'Form for administrators' is the name of the form that must be configured with the Account object.

note It is possible to optionally indicate the name of the specific section of the business object that will be displayed first, for example:

ENTER NEW Account USING 'Form for administrators' FORM_SECTION 'Personal details'

note By default the form of the object will be displayed in a pop-up window (unless a process runs in the Single Tab mode). If the process finishes immediately after the user enters form values, you can designate the form to be displayed in the current window or in a new tab. For example:

ENTER NEW Account AND VIEW

ENTER NEW Account AND VIEW IN TAB

note If a process runs in a “single tab mode” the action is not displayed in a popup window unless the FORCE POPUP keyword is specified. This keywords allows to override the single tab mode. For example:

ENTER NEW Account FORCE POPUP

ENTER NEW Account

CREATE, EDIT, VIEW
