Push Buttons and Hyperlinks
|
PeopleTools allows you to add buttons and hyperlinks to your web pages. A push button and a hyperlink are really the same thing. The only difference is their appearance, which you choose when you create the button.
When you create push buttons you have several different options for the type that you will use. The most commone type of Push button is a PeopleCode push button. PeopleCode push buttons are attached to a field on a record definition, just like an edit box on a page. You must place your PeopleCode program within the FieldEdit and/or FieldChange event of the Record PeopleCode.
When push button is selected, FieldEdit or FieldChange PeopleCode that has been attached to that field will be performed.
You can also choose other actions for your push button. You can link a push button or hyperlink to any one of nine different actions:
External Link
Internal Link
Page Anchor
PeopleCode command
Process
Prompt Action
Scroll action
Secondary page
Toolbar action
Push buttons allow the application developer the flexibility to trigger processing based on a user request by clicking the push button or hyperlink.
There are many uses for hyperlinks and push buttons. For example,push buttons can be used to trigger an email, perform data inquiries, assign defaults or accomplish whatever you want.
Just remember that push buttons are attached to fields on a page. It can be any field, on any record definition. However, most buttons and hyperlinks are attached to derived/work records.
