Associating a Form Interconnection with a Form or Row Exit

After you add a new form or row exit by using the Form Extension Manager side panel, you can associate a form interconnection with the newly added form or row exit. Associating a form interconnection enables the system to determine which form is called and displayed when you click the form or row exit.

You can associate form interconnections by using the Associate Form Interconnect wizard. The Associate Form Interconnect wizard has two sequential steps as shown in the following image:

Indicators are displayed to help you move through the steps. A check mark on a step indicates that the step is complete and you can proceed to the next step. A red exclamation point indicates that the step is not complete. Click the Next button to proceed to the next step.

To associate a form interconnection with a form or row exit:

1. Open the EnterpriseOne form that you want to extend.

2. Click the Form Extension icon.

3. In the Form Extension Manager side panel, click the Manage Exits button.

   The system displays the Manage Exits window.

   • To associate a form interconnection with a row exit, click the Row tab and then click the corresponding Configure Exit icon for the row exit.

   The system displays the Associate Form Interconnect wizard.

5. In the Select Form step (Step 1), define the form to which you want to connect by performing the following actions:
