We are creating a custom tab using infomaker 12.0. We have some data in our tab that gets updated on an (update) trigger. What I've done is created a "refresh data" button and I want that button to call the update trigger. I've tried a series of "Actions" and none of them are calling the trigger.
How do I code the actions command to actually have the button trigger the trigger.
Thank you,-Lisa
The only way to cause a trigger to execute, in this case, is to update the table on which the trigger is created.
After the user saves the data, the Retrieve action on the button should refresh all the updated data.
Hope I haven't misunderstood!
Thank you for the quick response. I am hoping to update the table on which the trigger is created (by clicking the button, that is my signal to update). I've put the "retrieve" action on the button but it doesn't seem to be updating the data.
The trigger logic works as follows - it looks at a different custom tab (at a different table) calculates some values and populates the fields in this table/custom tab. What I want to happen is if the users update the other tab, they can simply come here click refresh and this data will be updated. I don't want to have to have the user actually make changes here to prompt the save button - they should be able to update/refresh the data without actually modifying any fields on this tab. sorry if I'm being unclear, I hope that make more sense.
Any ideas?
