A130 – Create linked list

Prerequisite:

To bind values from lists, it is necessary to have an Enumeration field in the business object.

Exercise:

• Open the object AppClient
• Check that the cliType field exists with 3 possible values (see Exercise Create an object field):
  • PRO (Lead),
  • CTM (Customer)
  • ABO (Abandoned)
• Click on Add field to add another list that will become dependent on the type of customer in the exercise.

The linked list will be able to take different values depending on the value of another list. The first step is to create:

• The field that merge all the related lists
• And a list containing all possible values (union of all possible codes) NB: The general list is necessary to allow the search form and submit lists of all codes in the language of the user.

Exercise:

• Create a field cliQualif as a qualification of the customer (who later will depend on its type)
• Physical name = cli_qualif
• Listed size 3 (reminder: length of the list of codes basis, and not the length of the translated labels)
• Visible everywhere and editable
• Not required
• Translate the cliQualif field by Qualification

This step is to create the global linked list of all possible values.

Exercise:

Populate the list of all possible qualifications of the customer:

• Name of the list with 5 CLI_QUALIF codes / labels:
• OCA Code: occasional customer
• REG Code: regular customer
• QUO Code: daily customer
• MEC Code: unhappy
• SNV Code: no news

Exercise:

• put cliQualif field in position 210 in the AppClient-1 area (reminder: customer information area)

Exercise:

• Open the cliQualif field then click on Edit list
• Check that the 5 values are present

Create all possible linked list by copying one.

• Click on Copy to create by copying
• Change the name of the list and save
• Remove some codes

Exercise:

Copy CLI_QUALIF and create CLI_QUALIF_CLIENT list, this list should contain only the possible qualifications for the customer. Customer

• Click to copy the CLI_QUALIF list
• Change the name to CLI_QUALIF_CLIENT
• Remove the MEC codes and SNV
• Save

Exercise:

Copy to create a CLI_QUALIF_ABANDON list with only the MEC and SNV codes. This list will be associated with the type of customer Abandoned.

Once all related lists have been created, a final step is to define dependencies between them.

• The configuration to do it is in Menu Administration / linked List

Exercise:

• Click on Create to define a new linked list
• Fill in the form as follows: List field:
• Select the cliType field of the AppClient object
• Select the CTM code of CLI_TYPE object linked field:
• Select the field cliQualif of the AppClient object
• Select the CLI_QUALIF_CLIENT linked list
• Save and test

Exercise:

• Do the same with the “ABO” code with the CLI_QUALIF_ABANDON list
• Do the same with the “PRO” code with the CLI_QUALIF_PRO list
• Clear the AppClient object cache to test

Exercise:

• Open a customer
• Check the different values in the Qualification
• Open the search form and the list of customers to verify that all the codes are translated.
