Re: Changing Form View Depending on Operation
The only caveat is that I don't see a way to just change the view of the current window you have open, you'll have to launch a new window of that schema in the new view (via a variety of options) and then close the existing one (again, many different and subtly different way). You can change FIELDS by turning them on or off individually, but not invoke an entire new view on an already open/loaded window that I'm aware of. As for detecting and triggering the decision... Use the $OPERATION$ keyword to tell what mode you are in and adjust the view accordingly at the Active Link level. Your trigger condition for checking what view you're in could be "Window Loaded" or "Search" One example would be... Active Link Name: "Test Me" Form Name: "Test Form" Execute On: Window Loaded Run If: $OPERATION$ = "SET" If Action: New Action1: Open Window For more details on $OPERATION$, hit the pdf document (or book if you have them) BMC Remedy Action Request System 7.0 Workflow Objects page 209 The table says "Filter execution conditions" but it works in Active Links as well.

I haven't seen any settings or commands that might be available that would change the view that you are using.

Mike, After considering that option please ignore my suggestion Let me think about it some more!

Re: Changing Form View Depending on Operation
What you will need to do is have an open window action that fires on some condition, maybe display, that opens a new window in the view you want, then performs a close window action on the current window -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kendhammer, Mike Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2008 1:06 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Changing Form View Depending on Operation Hello, Hopefully I can explain this...
