In this procedure, create an event to link department information to the SSCA Master application.
Creating an event for department information
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 SSCA Master and select Define Events.
The Define ClickAcross Events window appears showing a grid with two columns – Dept Name and Dept Head.
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 (Dept Name) with the SSCA Department application. To do so, make these changes (accept defaults for all others):
Row – enter all. This
places the event on the header as well as the records; alternatively
you could enter 2- (a 2 followed
by a dash, no space) to indicate every record from 2 to the last
record, excluding the header).
Column – enter 1 to
indicate only column 1 (Dept Name) is included.
Event Name – enter Dept
Name. This event name is used as the parameter
name by the target application, in this case SSCA Department.
With – select “cell value (this cell)” from the drop-down list to indicate that the value associated with the event will be extracted from the cell itself.
Multi-value – leave unselected.
Client-side - make sure the 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.
Click Find Application to open the Search window, and click Search.
In the Results pane, select the SSCA Department application and click Add. This forms the event association between the SSCA Master application and the SSCA Department application.
The Search window closes, and the application details are displayed.
In the Assign An Event section, click Add. The values in column 1 are highlighted, and the event definition displays under Current Assigned Events.
Create a server-side event that associates the cells in column 2 (Dept Head) with the SSCA Employees application. Under Assign Event For, complete these options:
Row – enter all. This
places the event on the header as well as the records; alternatively
you could enter 2- (a 2 followed
by a dash, no space) to indicate every record from 2 to the last
record, excluding the header).
Column – enter 2 to
indicate only column 2 (Dept Head) is included.
Event Name – enter Emp
Name. This event name is used as the parameter
name by the target application, in this case SSCA Employee.
With – select “cell value (this cell)” to indicate that the value associated with the event is extracted from the cell itself.
Multi-value – leave unselected.
Client-side - make sure the 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,
so the option should not be selected.
Click Find Application to open the Search window, and click Search.
In the Results pane, select the SSCA Employee application and click Add.
The Search window closes, and the application details are displayed.
Click Add. The values in column 2 are highlighted, and the event definition displays under Current Assigned Events.
Click Next.
From the Preview window, click Finish.
To preview the multipage application, select Approved under the Application Manager Status menu, select the SSCA Master application in the detail pane, and click the Preview button.
Close the window to exit.
