Creating an event for employee information
In this procedure, create an event that links employee information with the SSCAMaster application.
From Mobile Web Studio, select Applications from the Build menu in the left pane, and select Approved under Application Manager.
From the list of approved applications that displays in the detail pane, right-click SSCADepartment and select Define Events.
The Define Click Across Events window appears showing a grid with one column – Employee.
Click Select to the left of the grid, then click Next. The Preview window displays.
Look for the Assign An Event section of the window, and create a server-side event that associates the cells in column 1 (Employee) with the SSCADepartment application. To do so, make these changes (accept the defaults for all others):
Row – enter 2- (a
2 followed by a dash, no space) to indicate every record from 2
to the last record, excluding the header). Alternatively, you can
enter all to place the event
on the header as well as the records.
Column – enter 1 to
indicate column 1 (Employee) is included.
Event Name – enter Emp
Name. This event name is used as the parameter
name by the target application, in this case, SSCADepartment.
With – select “cell value (this cell)” from the drop-down list to indicate that the value associated with the event is extracted from the cell itself.
Multi-value – leave unselected.
Client-side – this option is unselected to indicate the event is a server-side event. This option acts like a toggle. When the option is selected, it indicates a client-side event; when the option is not selected, it indicates a server-side event.
For mobile applications, you must always create a server-side event.
Click Find application to open the Search window. Click Search.
In the Results pane, select the SSCAEmployee application and click Add.
The Search window closes, and SSCAEmployee is added to the Application field.
In the Assign An Event section, click Add. The values in column 1 are highlighted, and the event definition displays under Current Assigned Events.
Click Next.
From the Preview window, click Finish.
To preview the application, select Approved under the Application Manager Status menu, select the SSCAMaster application in the detail pane, and click the Preview button.
Click one of the links under Dept Name to view a list of employees in the department. For example, click Shipping to view the employees in the Shipping department.
Click one of the links under Employee to view details about the selected employee, for example Jeannette Bertrand.
In Employee Name, enter the manager’s name, in this case Jose Martinez, and click OK to view details about her manager, Jose.
Close the window.
