I want to display an announcement/statement on a form at a certain stage of a record producer.

[samuelscott]

At a certain stage near the end of a record producer's process, I want to clarify that there is another process taking place. On a requested item I've used macro type variable to demonstrate a comment on a blue print, however, on a record producer I can't find a field type that does something similar. I want the announcement to appear only at a a certain stage, and to disappear if a checkbox is true, to achieve the latter I would use a UI policy.

Which is the best way to do what I intend?

Thanks!

Can you elaborate a bit more by what you mean by "at a certain stage"....because it's basically three stages to a record producer...you can almost relate to client script type choices...

-Loading of the record producer...

-Changing a field entry on a record producer...

-Submitting the record producer...

-Post-Submitting of record producer/moment the record is actually created...

So do you mean by one of these stages?

Or are you meaning some sort of "stage" as in...the user working their way down the form?

We can only guess at this point without more information.

Thanks!

Thank you for helping me, I can see where I wasn't clear. By "a certain stage" I mean what you mentioned on your second suggestion, so as you said, I refer to users  working their way down the form.

Thanks!

Ok, so again, how is this stage known? At what point? Once they check a box? Once they fill out a certain field?

I ask because this sounds like you just need to do an onChange client script on that particular field...then show the info message:

Client side scripts
Script	                Result
alert("Hello World");	Will pop up a window with "Hello World" and an 'OK' button.

confirm("Hello World");	Will pop up a window with "Hello World?" and a 'Ok' and 'Cancel' buttons.

g_form.showFieldMsg("field_name", "Hello World", "error");	Puts "Hello World" in an error message below the specified field.

g_form.hideFieldMsg("field_name");	Hides an error message that is visible under the specified field.

See also:

g_form.addInfoMessage(); or g_form.addErrorMessage(); which displays at top of form.

When substate = closed complete, I want a comment to appear in blue print just like a macro variable...indicating something like "finance team is creating a quotation for this service". I don't want a prompt, I want a permanent label...I was considering adding a checkbox that is placed as "true" when the substate = closed complete, and when that checkbox is set to to true the permanent label is shown but hidden when checkbox is set to false...

Was I clear??
