How to create a new Part TOC menu item that does a custom search?
Hi, On the ACE 2017 Europe conference, a technique that utilized Federated Data to add a TOC menu item that did a custom search was showcased. In my case, I want to add a new TOC menu item, besides the Part menu item, that searches among Released Parts. I.e., the menu item should be called "Parts Released", clicking it and then clicking the "Run Search" button should return a list of parts that are released. On the conference, they said that I should create a new dummy ItemType, and redirect its requests to the real Part by modifying the onBeforeGet to server event. Apparently this is related to data federation according to the presenter. However, I do not remember the exact steps to implement this. I got the impression that there should example code demonstrating this on Aras' GitHub page. However, I have browsed through several pages of Aras' repositories on GitHub, and I cannot find any project that sounds to be what I am looking or. Does anybody know how to achieve what I am asking for? Or where sample code can be found? Please tell me if you want me to clarify anything in my description.

Hi community, does anyone know, if there are any keyboards shortcut available to switch through opened tabs? I am looking for a keyboard shortcut to - set the focus to the tabs pane - move back and forth inside the tab pane - set focus back from tab pane to item window I think some simple shortcuts would ease up navigation - especially for administrators that have a tendency the mouse arm syndrome. I noticed that I most of the time switch to the mouse for the sole purpose of selecting another tab. Does anyone know a secret shortcut that could work? Or has somebody an idea to build this on, maybe with CUI? Any input welcomed! Thanks! Angela12KViews0likes4CommentsARAS 12 - How to remove "Create New XXX" button ?
Hi, I defined an ItemType named "Cost". This is a relationship without related item. There is nothing in the "Can Add" of this ItemType because nobody can create a "Cost". There are only created by code. In ARAS 12, I have this: What should I do in CUI to remove "Create New Cost" ?11KViews0likes8CommentsHide Relationship Tabs based on Parent Classification Type
Hi All, Use case : On Part Item , based on the classification Type selected , the Part BoM relationship tab should be Hidden/Made Visible. I know it is now possible to hide tabs without using any custom code with the help of CUI , Refer : https://community.aras.com/b/english/posts/hiding-tabs-using-cui With the help of the same I was able to set the Tab Visibility based on the Item Type Classification : However , On Creation of the Part Item when the user selects the Classification Assembly , the CUI changes are not available, only when the user closes the Part and opens it again does the "Part BOM" relationship become visible. Is there any way to invoke the CUI changes on the Form Events ? Or should I be using a Method to hide/unhide the relationship tab rather than the CUI for the current use case. Thanks.5.7KViews0likes6CommentsHow can I pass additional event parameters in CUI elements?
Hi community, does anybody know, if it´s possible to pass additional event parameters in CUI elements? Example: I have three CUI menu buttons that do a more or less comparable job. The corresponding Methods just differ in a few lines of code. So I would prefer to use just one unified Method for the three CUI elements. But right now I cannot determine, which of the three buttons acutally triggers the Method. Is it somehow possible to add event parameters to the button item itself? Can I perhaps use the additional data field somehow for this purpose? Or is there a Method that shows me the orignator of the Method call? As alternative, it would also be ok to use standard Actions for this job. But as far as I know, I cannot pass even information in Item Actions. Just ItemType Actions allow us to use the "Body" property. Thanks for any help! AngelaSolved5.3KViews0likes2CommentsHow to export basic CUI configurations
Hello everybody, I have the following question: I would like to export some basic modifications of the CUI (User Interface). For Example I would like to hide some Buttons or add some separators for the different toolbars and menues. After finishing my modifications on the CUI I'm not sure how to export those modifications and which target package I should selectfor export. It would be very nice if someone can give me some hints. Maybe there is also a general overview about the export of suche configurations and which target package should be used. Best Regards Sebastian4.9KViews1like1CommentDisable a Relationship tab
Hello Team, I need to disable a relationship tab as the User selects a option button on the form. Detailed Info: I have a option button on a form. Once the user selects this option, a tab from relationship below should be disabled. I am trying to work this out on the OnChange Field event for the option button but its not working. I am able to do the same on the OnFormPopulate event but it wont work on real time, only when the form is refreshed, it works. I need a solution where i can be able to disable enable the relationship tab as soon as the user selects or deselects the option button. Please advise. Thanks in advance, Mithun3.8KViews2likes1CommentNew or Add from Relationship Tab without Locking Parent
Hello All, Working in context of a Project, but could be applied elsewhere. I need to have the ability to relate (via new or existing Items) against the Project. The Relationship view provides this ability, but only when the parent item is locked for editing. I want to remove that restriction in terms of locking the parent for editing. Is there a good way to do this? In other words... don't have to hit edit, but unlock the grid and buttons circled in green. Our users are most familiar with the context of things being in a project, so I'd like to maintain the use of the relationship view if possible.
