Understanding Embedded EnterpriseOne Form Content

Note: You may not be able to perform the tasks in this chapter on a mobile device.

You can embed any EnterpriseOne application form on a layout. Message forms such as warning messages and subforms cannot be embedded on a layout. You can embed the same EnterpriseOne form multiple times on a layout; however, you must map different parameters or conditional settings. Embedded forms allow limited functionality. Form interconnects and row exits do not work on the embedded EnterpriseOne form.

With Release 9.2.1, you can embed external forms on a layout. However, you cannot embed external forms that have an external application type of Composed Page. Only external forms using ADF or JavaScript (JET) can be embedded on a layout as an enabled EnterpriseOne form.

The enabled form is fully functional. Users who have access to the enabled form can access other forms through form interconnects and row exits, add new records, find existing records, copy records, delete records, and so on. With Release 9.2.1,you can also map the Personal Forms on the layout.

The embedded forms have limited capability. All standard EnterpriseOne embedded forms provide Save and Refresh capability. Some embedded forms provide additional capability. Form interconnects and row exits do not work on an embedded form, meaning that a user cannot access another form from the embedded form. With Release 9.2.1, if the embedded form is an external form, functionality will vary.

Depending on how you design embedded forms, users who have access to the layout on the Composite Application Framework can do the following:

  • Browse available information on embedded forms by selecting a header field or different grid row on the enabled form.

  • Update a field on the enabled form, and the change is made on all linked embedded forms.

  • Update a field on the embedded form. Upon saving the change, the EnterpriseOne database is updated. Clicking Find on the enabled form refreshes all of the embedded forms that are mapped to the enabled form and embedded forms display the change.

  • Create new records.

  • Embed a Personal Form associated with an EnterpriseOne application form. (Release 9.2.1)

Standard security applies to all EnterpriseOne forms on the Composite Application Framework. If you are secured out of a specific EnterpriseOne form, you cannot access it on the Composite Application Framework.
