ENTER NEW Action

The ENTER NEW action is similar to the CREATE action in that it creates a new instance of a business object. Unlike the CREATE action it lets the user fill in the initial values of the business object. The action displays a form of the specified business object and waits for the user to provide the initial values of the attributes and submit them to the system. For example,

ENTER NEW Account

NOTE: if the name of a business object group is specified in the action, Aware IM will first display a list of all members of the group and when the user selects the name of the required business object, Aware IM will display a form of this object.

NOTE: It is possible to indicate the initial values of the attributes using the WITH keyword. The syntax is the same as for the CREATE action. The form will be pre-populated with the supplied values (this initialisation though is not available for groups – see previous note). For example:

ENTER NEW Account WITH Account.Name='John Smith'

NOTE: It is possible to indicate the name of the specific form of the business object that will be used when entering the object, for example:

ENTER NEW Account USING 'Form for administrators'

In this action ‘Form for administrators’ is the name of the form that must be configured with the Account object (see Business Object Forms).

NOTE: By default the form of the object will be displayed in a pop-up window. If the process finishes immediately after the user enters form values, you can designate the form to be displayed in the current window or in a new tab. For example:

ENTER NEW Account AND VIEW

ENTER NEW Account AND VIEW IN TAB
