Examples

Customizing a link/button/context entry to modify customizing objects

Macro module 009C8A should be used for any functionality for opening a customizing edit module.

Supported objecttarget value
Modulemodule
Datatabledatatable
Dataitemdataitem
Dataareadataarea
Symbolsymbol
Formatformat
Effecteffect
Exitexit
Work Areaworkarea
SQL Statementsql

This macro implements access to the editor modules in a uniform way that is consistent with how PLANTA deals with things like clicking a link in a record while having 3 other records marked, trying to access customizing module without having customizing rights and other scenarios. Using the Data field configuration you can specify what object you are dealing with, where the primary key can be read from in the record, and how the module should be opened if you want to fine tune it. The minimum configuration to make 009C8A work looks like this:

PY
{'python_id': 'di', 'target': 'dataitem'}

The python_id key refers to the DF Python ID of the field in which the primary key is located and target refers to the object type we are dealing with. See the table above for a list of supported objects. Additionally you can specify any of the parameters you would normally specify in Module.open_module:

PY
{'python_id': 'dt_id', 'target': 'datatable', 'dock_style': DOCK_STYLE_RIGHT}
