The JD Edwards extensibility framework provides many ways to extend and augment the EnterpriseOne system without the need for deep technical skills or traditional customizations. You can use the form extensibility feature to dynamically extend a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne form without customizations. Form extensibility enables citizen developers to meet industry, regional, and wider business requirements without requiring deep technical knowledge at a low cost.
This feature enhances form extensions by giving you the ability to enable or disable fields on a form. For example, you might modify an application form to disable certain input fields because you intend to replace manual user input with input that is automated by an orchestration or logic extension.
Launching orchestrations and logic extensions from an EnterpriseOne application form is an easy and powerful way to automate tasks and extend the processing logic of applications. In some cases, it is desirable to allow the orchestration or logic extension to process differently depending on the application version from which it was launched.
This feature enhances the capabilities of form extensions to provide a file selector so that the end user can easily supply file inputs to orchestrations that are launched from form extensions. If the orchestration returns a file as output, this feature also allows the end user to download that file to the browser's download location.
Logic extensions are self-contained, specific set of instructions for a given purpose. As such, they can be quite useful when launched from interactive forms in the same way that interactive forms are often customized with named event rules. This enhancement enables you to launch logic extensions directly from a form extension and simplifies the process of associating the logic extension to an event in interactive forms and manages it as a user-defined object.
The Extensibility Framework enables users to launch an orchestration from an event on a form extension to extend the application functionality without traditional customizations and deep technical skills. The business analyst designer can map the data on the form as inputs to the orchestration.
Make input fields read-only on update form: Users can decide if an extended input field is displayed as an editable field or a read-only field based on various business requirements. This capability provides users with the flexibility to make the extended input fields editable or non-editable (read-only).
We continue to work with the customers to identify common customization that can be done on the glass and have added new capabilities and enhanced the extensibility framework. This will greatly help our customers to reduce the customization involved and meet their business requirements without creating barriers in staying code-current.
This new feature enables customers to unhide the business view columns (in the grid) that were hidden in the FDA and use these columns on the application without accessing the FDA. This capability reduces the customization required and eliminates overhead and delay.
New capabilities in Form Extensibility include the ability to create form and row exits. This capability will enable citizen developers to create new exits to other forms and leverage the form interconnection capability to pass data in the called form.
The form personalization feature has been enhanced to enable users to reposition the form controls that are marked as required from a tab or group box to a different tab or group box on the same form.
This enhancement to the form extensibility feature enables authorized users to take the following actions on form extensions: Hide and unhide form controls, Rename the labels on form controls, static labels, and even the form name itself
The form extensibility framework enables users to associate orchestrations with events on an EnterpriseOne form. This capability has been further enhanced to enable users to map the orchestration outputs to the grid columns.
The form extensibility framework is being enhanced to enable citizen developers to map the orchestration output parameters to the form context. This feature allows form controls to be updated based on the response of the orchestration that is called from an interactive application using the form extensibility framework.
This enhancement will enable citizen developers to add additional business view table columns on the supported query and transaction forms using the Form Extension user defined object.
This enhancement enables citizen developers to extend and augment the features and functionalities of the base JD Edwards EnterpriseOne forms with orchestrations. All the powerful capabilities of orchestrations such as automation, simplification, and integration with a third party are now available in the context of EnterpriseOne forms.
Citizen developers can now add available business view columns on the transaction form header, grid, or both on the glass as a user defined object.
Citizen developers can add available business view columns on the form header, grid, or both dynamically as user defined objects (UDOs).
