Save and New, Save and Stay, Save and Close --- all in same UX

[WindForce]

Hi
I have a grid, and a UX set to either enter new records or edit existing records of that grid. The UX has been growing to nearly 150 controls and it takes now 5-6 seconds to load, which lead me to think at adding options for the users not to have to load new UX each time.
Currently in the calling grid, i set "close on submit" property to true. In the UX afterDialogValidate "save ..." action javascript, i selected "edit record just entered" but it doesn't matter, it closes and goes back to the grid as intended.

What i would like is for this UX to have 3 submit buttons, that each do one of the following:
- Save and New : submits the data, starts with a new record
- Save and Edit: submits the data, stays in the newly entered record until the user manually exits
- Save and Close: submits the data, then exit back to the grid.

Thanks
Jaime

So, are you looking for the code to put in your buttons or are you asking how we'd do it or....?

If you make a submit button and go into the Click Event you can click on Insert UX Component methods and see most of what's available to you:

For save and new, you could do something like:

{dialog.object}.submit();
{dialog.object}.newRecord();

The second would simply be the regular submit button if you have it set to stay on the current record
The last could be:

{dialog.object}.submit();
{dialog.Object}.closeWindow(UXWindowName);

Or other close method depending on how you are opening the UX (in a window or tabbed UI pane, etc)

Thanks Jinx.

I need the functionality as described, either the code to put on the buttons or how you guys do that...

I don't think the two sample codes you put will work, it doesn't take under consideration the .submit() part ( even if succesfull there will be timing issues )

...depending on how you are opening the UX

As described in the first post, i am calling this UX from a grid ( as a mean to add/edit records to that grid )

The code will work but you may need a setTimeout for timing. I use the new record code wirh a setTimeout currently. Also, you could try putting the code into "inline JavaScript" action JavaScript commands and checking the "run synchronously" box.
