Confirmed, works great.  I just added that run process just before any Open 
Window action and the confirmation popup has been suppressed across the board.  
thanks again.

Mid-tier navigation - killing the confirmation message

2014-03-03 Thread Ray Gellenbeck
Is there a switch or process command to suppress the browser behavior of asking 
confirmation before leaving a create-mode form?  To clarify, here is the flow 
today...

1.  Open form in Create/Submit mode
2.  User performs some action but then hits a button to navigate away from that 
form
3.  Browser (doesn't matter the brand/version) pops up a window Confirm 
Navigation title, verbiage Your changes have not been saved or sent.  Do you 
really want to close the window?  Are you sure you want to leave this page? 
and then 2 buttons for Leave this Page and Stay on this Page.

You've seen this behavior in other web apps like facebook if you had composed 
something but didn't save/post it and then went to navigate to a different page.

Is this message suppress-able?  I do some Open Window commands within the same 
window and can anticipate getting negative feedback from users but I really 
don't want to have to do all the mechanics of keeping everything in one window 
vs. using Open Window with views.  Suppressing that message would be the ideal 
solution.

Thanks in advance,

Ray

Ray,
If you always want to browse away without that prompt on button press on
the form, you can look into the 'SET-CHANGE-FLAG' run-process.  Setting it
to 0 will tell the form there are no changes that need to be made, and
allow you to navigate away from the form without prompt.

Either thator you could change the flag on various fields on your form
to 'Disable Change Flag' to True, and then setting that field won't trigger
the change field flag, and it won't be set when you try to navigate away.
 Either way should work :)
