How to stop users skipping over a panel before H5 script runs?

I have a couple of scripts set up on OIS100I to validate user inputs by subscribing on the "Requesting" event.

I've discovered if a user just mashes the enter button from OIS100A, they can pass straight through OIS100I and into OIS101 without ever encountering my validation scripts.

I think whats happening is: On panel init, the next button is available immediately and so the user can proceed before the scripts have loaded and subscribed to the requesting event.

Has anyone encountered an issue like this? Is there a solution for it?

Hi Benjamin,

I have encountered a similar issue on OIS101/B1. I got a script setup on OIS101/BI to validate selected order line status (on Requesting event). If the selected item status meet certain value, an warning dialog will be prompt and user will remain on the current panel (OIS101/B1).

However I found that sometime the validation script are begin "skip/ignore" which users are able to enter OIS101/E although the validate result is NOT OK. This "bug" happen intermittence.

It also happen one time that the script is partially loaded (load only the xx.prototype.run() function). You may add log to your script to check if your script has been loaded correctly.

I've reported this issue to Infor Support Portal and they said its because the script has affects on the standard behavior of the system and recommend us to coordinate with their Consulting Services (its billable).

Do update me if your got any update/solution on this matter, thanks

Hi both,

Did you get any solution on this. I am also having the same issue where I have a script applied on OIS101/H but before loading the script if the user switches to panel OIS101/B some custom fields of OIS101/H appear on the OIS101/B. But after refresh they disappear from B panel.

Is putting a log/warning message (If user switches to another panel before script loads) is the only solution or we can check any condition of panels while the script loads?

Hi Shashank, Benjamin,

Have you resolved this issue?

Sorry no resolution yet, I've mostly avoided validation scripts.

As a workaround it did occur to me that maybe you could make a field mandatory and then have it fill with an invalid default value to slow users down enough so that you're script can get a grip on the panel. Kind of a sloppy fix tho.

The user only "skips" a panel if You let.

You should use OnRequesting AND lock screen at Init - that's the only solution possible.
