How to create a module that points to a specific "Import Set table" in Load Data

[Paulo Machado]

Hi folks,

I need to create a new module that directs the user to a specific data source and loads a particular Import Set table.

Unfortunately, it’s not possible to pass parameters to the Data Source page. It works on the Edit module page, but not on the Data Source page.

I’m considering creating a new table with an attachment field and a Business Rule to automatically run the data source.
I’d like to know if there’s an easier or alternative way to implement this functionality, or if creating a new table is indeed the best approach.

Thanks in advance.

Olá @Paulo Machado,

you mean a module which after clicking it will pre-populate any of this?

Or I misunderstood it? 😛

Yes @GlideFather 

I’d like the custom module to populate the Import Set table field with "u_import_test_table", for example.

@Paulo Machado,

please describe the whole use case.

A user (all or just some) click on the module and the module is opened with a value (what value?) in the "u_import_test_table" field?

If so, it could be done by:

(1) a default value for the field sys dictionary (but only one default value is allowed),

(2) onLoad client script

(3) onDisplay BR

It's important to assure it will not break any other processes - default value will be populated at any case, CS or BR can give you some conditions and different values to assign it..

Let me sleep for it and I will try to play with that in my PDI tomorrow :))) just let me know if I got it ok now

Like this:

The goal is to have the module open the Load Data page and automatically set the Import Set table field to u_import_set_test.
