Drillback

Legacy Contributor

Hello everybody,

I've developed a chart widget and now I'd like to include a drillback feature to Infor LN session. How can I do that.

Thanks.

Hi,

Is the question on how to add a click handler to the chart, how a drillback to LN looks, or how to launch the drillback?



In the IWidgetContext2 there is a launch method that you must use to launch a drillback.

It looks like this: launch(launchOptions: ILaunchOptions): void;



I'm not sure how the drillback in LN looks exactly. The way to figure that out is a bit cumbersome.

The way I do it is that I start by navigating to the panel I want to go to and then bookmark it in Ming.le. (Upper right corner).

Then I go to homepages and add a Menu widget to my private page. In the menu widget under the configure menu (...) there is this option 'Add Link From Bookmark'. I use that to add a link to the panel I'm interested in. Then on the item in the menu there is an edit option that would show you the bookmark.



If you pass any variables in that link you must url encode it properly. The logicalId should not be hardcoded. If this widget is an LN chart widget it should have the ln logical id prefix in the manifest and then you can select the LN application logical id in the widget code by using:

IWidgetContext.getApplication(): IApplication

IApplication has a logicalId property that will give you the logicalId for LN in the current environment.



Please check the documentation on the chart you are using to get more information on how to add a click handler.
