Properties and Formatting dialog box: Buttons

You can customize names and actions of a transaction table's buttons.

The Buttons options are displayed in the Properties and Formatting dialog box only if you select a transaction table.

Submit Button

Display Text: The name displayed on the Submit button.

Require Confirmation: Determines whether to display a message asking for confirmation when a user taps the Submit button, before the user's changes are submitted. Do one of the following:

• To display the confirmation message, select the Require Confirmation checkbox.
• To submit changes without displaying a confirmation message, clear the Require Confirmation checkbox.

Subsequent Actions: Determines which action is performed after a user submits thier changes. Select one of the following:

• No subsequent action: Returns to the document without performing any additional actions.
• Refresh the current document: Refreshes the display of the document.

• Run a new report or document option: Runs a specific report or document. Click … (the browse button) to navigate to and select the report or document to run.

  • Force Live Execution: Determines whether the report or document will be executed using data cached on the mobile device.

  • Answer prompts with the same answers as the source: Determines whether the same prompt answers that were chosen in the source document are used answer the prompts in the target report or document.

    If this checkbox is selected and both the source and target report/document contain the same prompts, the user will not be asked to provide prompt answers. The user will still be prompted for any prompts that exist in the target but that do not exist in the source.

Display message after submitting: Displays a custom confirmation message after changes are submitted. Type the message in the field below the option.

Invalidate mobile device cache: Determines if the data cached on the mobile device is marked as needing an update, after a user submits thier changes.

A Transaction Services-enabled document that is pre-cached is run in the background, and its results are stored on the mobile device on which it is executed, improving the speed with which the document is run. You can choose to update document results cached on a mobile device after the user submits thier changes, by using this setting to mark a document's results as in need of updating.

If the document is defined to be pre-cached, the document will be automatically pre-cached each time the user submits thier changes. If the document is not defined to be pre-cached, the document will be automatically executed using data cached on the Intelligence Server the next time the document is run, or executed against the data source if no cached data is available. For background information on pre-caching, see the Strategy Mobile Administration Help.

Do one of the following:

• To have the document pre-cached each time the user submits their changes, select the Invalidate Mobile Device Cache checkbox.
• To allow the user to submit their changes without marking the data cached on the mobile device as in need of updating, clear the Invalidate Mobile Device Cache checkbox.

Clear/Cancel Button

If the transaction table is displayed as an Information Window, the Clear button is displayed as a Cancel button.

Display Text: The name displayed on the Clear or Cancel button.

Require Confirmation: Determines whether to display a message asking for confirmation when a user taps the Clear or Cancel button, before the user's changes are submitted. Do one of the following:

• To display the confirmation message, select the Require Confirmation checkbox.
• To submit changes without displaying a confirmation message, clear the Require Confirmation checkbox.
