Hello all,
I am setting up a custom tab in the Performance Information area to show a relevant web page to the operator.
My idea was for the URL to be saved as a Content entry in the Production Elements (with a new content type created in TR_INV_CONTENT), then have custom tab display the web page.
But I cannot work out a way to set this up in TR_CUST_TAB.
Has anyone tried something similar?
Thanks, Nicholas
Have you looked at LP_PREPROCESS_URL ? That procedure takes a URL as a parameter (I think it's automatically called whenever a URL for a custom tab is loaded.) and it returns a URL as the results.
So in TR_CUSTOM_TAB if you set your URL to include the token <<key>> - that token will be replaced with the inv_no for the performance or production number. You can then do a little processing in your LP to grab whatever you need based on the inv_no and return your new URL.
For our tab, we just needed to replace the inv_no with the description from t_inventory, but it would be pretty much the same process to take the inv_no and go grab something from tr_inv_content.
Hope that helps,
Brian
