Matt, There's something about the way that Nav bars function, I guess. We finally just discovered that if we setup the nav bar with all of the menu items and active links and then copy that nav bar onto a new form, it will carry over all of the associations. If you copy the nav bar then try to tie the active links to the individual menu items, it won't work even though the field ID's were the same...
Moral of the story is to completely setup the nav bar and it's associated items, then copy it over to the other forms. Thanks to everyone for your help. Charles On 1/5/07, Matt Reinfeldt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
** Charles, I have already done this in the past, so I am unsure what could be the issue. As Fred pointed out earlier, if the FieldIDs match, permissions are correct, the Active Link is attached to all the necessary forms, there should not be an issue. I would ensure that the database name and label match on all the menu items as well, of course. That could be causing it to stick. Good luck, Matt R. ------------------------------ *From:* Charles Stoddard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Sent:* Friday, January 05, 2007 3:42 PM *To:* arslist@ARSLIST.ORG *Subject:* Re: Vertical Navigation Bars and Active Links ** Matt, Thanks for pointing me in the right direction there. Well, I fired up archgid, and unfortunately the menu items do already share the same field ID's. So, unless anyone else has an idea, it looks like you cannot share workflow between navigation bars. thanks for the ideas.

I tried downloading the windows version (52K) and it only has the archgid.exe, not the supporting DLL's. The linux version is much bigger but it doesn't appear to be a valid file. I can't unzip it, untar it, or anything else. I'm not sure if it will let us do that with the items within the nav bar, but if I can get archgid running, I'll give it a shot.

I'm still on 6.3 so I don't know the Nav Bar off hand, but usually you can change the FieldID before the save. Remedy may auto generate one but you should be able to go to the database tab of the item and set the ID before saving the form.

We copied the nav bar from one form to the other, and I verified that they did get the same field ID. It doesn't appear that you can set a field ID for the individual menu items in the nav bar though. It looks like we may be stuck using one active link per nav bar menu item. thanks, Charles On 1/5/07, *Grooms, Frederick W* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: ** You have to have the Field IDs of the buttons be the same on each form for shared workflow to work. Say you have 4 forms and want an Active link to fire on the "Add Incident" button. On each of the forms the FieldID of the "Add Incident" button must be the same. You can then create an Active Link and attach it to all 4 forms telling it to fire on the "Add Incident" button. Personally I always try to set the FieldIDs myself instead of letting the system create them for me.

We've got a couple of different consoles that all have an Add Incident Nave Bar item. Rather than creating an active link for each of the Nav bars, we'd like to use the same one, but we can't seem to get it to work. When creating the active link, we can tell it to fire on button click (the name of the menu item appears in the list), or on menu choice, but it doesn't work. If we go into the Nav bar properties, we can assign it to the first item, but when we go to assign it to the second item it moves it and doesn't let us have it assigned to more than one Nav bar. Are we just missing something, or are we out of luck on trying to keep the number of Active links down?
