How do I get the post button assigned to work notes

Hi,

I created my first scoped application and everything works great. Now I am in the phase to make minor improvements and there is one item is on my list to improve is, how to I get the "Post" button assigned to my work notes? Right now I am using the "Save" UI Action and that works and I see the activities but the "Post" would be more elegant.

Hello Armin,



Well that was not so straight forward.. But I found a way for you..



Now this is absolutely working fine..



For scoped applications, you are not allowed to configure the Activity Fomatter like that way.



Here is the way you can achieve this:



1. Create a Activity log UI Formatter for the Application Scope like:



find_real_file.png



2. Select the same from the Form Layout and Save it:



find_real_file.png



3. Create a system property from sys_properties.LIST with the Suffix as: glide.ui.x_75830_my_custom_application_table_activity.fields remaining in the Application Scope. Like,


glide.ui.[custom application table name]_activity.fields



find_real_file.png



In my case, custom application name is 'My Custom Application'.



Provide the name of the fields in the Value for which you want to get in the Activity log.(I have given short_description and my_notes).



On creation of this you will see that, Name field on the property is a Read Only field and is starting as- x_75830_my_custom.and the suffix what you wrote will appear after this.



To do away with this, you have to go to the list view of the created property and have to edit the Name from here and remove the first part upto before glide.

That is, your created property name should appear like: glide.ui.[custom_application_table_name]_activity.fields



Now, go back to the Custom Application form field and open the Activity formatter to configure it(Configure Available Fields). You will see that your provided fields on the created system property are sitting over there.



Like,



find_real_file.png




THEN,



find_real_file.png



THEN come back. Means Cancel and come back. You will see that Activity Log will show up. And also you are able to see the POST button as well.

And, the magic has happened.



Hope this will now help you to configure the same for your requirement.

Hi Armin,



You need to make your worknotes field as a journal input field.
Then you will be able to view the Post button below Worknotes.

Hi Paul,



That didn't do the trick. Actually now I am not seeing the journal entries at all.
