Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

Is there a way to refresh a panel in a UX but not the entire UX?

    Is there a way to refresh a panel in a UX but not the entire UX?

    A few weeks ago, during the Alpha Anywhere Webcast 2020 April 15, they discussed a Tabbed UI replacement. It is an entire UX that has panel cards. One panel is for login(Panel Card Login), and after login, it calls a different panel (Panel Layout 1). After login, you have access to the menu you created. Its really nice.

    The problem is, all security is loaded when the UX is loaded. Then after login, there is no UX reload, so the security is not refreshed. If you force a refresh, it takes you back to the login.

    Static info: My menu has security groups. Under Menu is Customers and Shipping. "userS" has access to "Shipping" and "Customers." "userC" has access to "Customers" only. So under the menu, Customers has no security, but Shipping is by Security Group only. "userS" is part of that security group and "userC" is not.

    Page loads. "userS" logs in. Login triggers Panel Layout 1. Menu and Customers are the only thing showing. No Shipping. Why? Because the UX was loaded before the login. Logging in only moves from one view to the other; not reload the UX. If I refresh the page, I'm back at the login. I login as "userS" again, and Shipping appears on the menu. Why? Because the security was cached. If I hit refresh again, the login appears, I login as "userC" and Shipping is still there. Why? Because the cached information was for "userS" and there is no reload of the Panel Layout 1 after login. If "userC" clicks on Shipping, the page has a seizure (because "userC" isn't authorized), and the logout action happens, and back to the login screen. Now I need to login again.

    I have tried an e.url = <thisComponent>, however any reloading of the page brings the login back to the forefront.

    Is there a way to refresh the Panel Layout 1 to get the newly loaded userRoles before it is shown so the menu displays appropriately for the logged in user?

    Thanks in advance.

    Your post is too vague to help you ( at least for me) what is "static info"? Is your menu a control bar? a couple of buttons? If menu and "customers" are showing does that mean you have a list control of customers? I would recommend you post a screenshot and a better description of the controls. If you're logged in properly, roles should work moving from one panelcard to the next and you would NOT need to refresh.
    This sounds like a persistent login, where the login looks for the token - but again, its kinda hard to imagine what you got going on there. I think in the webinar they used an expanding menu control.

    You can always create a button to do an ajax callback and run that client-side On Render Complete though - maybe that will help but I think there's probably something else that isn't right

      You could try just refreshing the object or objects on the Panel

        Thought I'd pop this solution here for anyone else (or me) looking for it in the future. If you are using a Menu Object based on Security, in the Client-Side AfterLogin event, refresh the Menu data with:

        {dialog.object}.refreshExpandingMenuData('MENUID');

        Works beautifully!
