Adding an Editable Table to an Application

You add an editable version of a table page by adding the editLink=True parameter to the URL that calls the table.

If not passed, the system assumes the parameter is false. When editLink=true is included, the table page includes an Edit link in the toolbar or Actions menu. This link is configured to call emxTableEdit.jsp. The system automatically passes the suiteKey and header parameters to the jsp, using the same values defined for the emxTable.jsp. This means the title for the editable version of the table is the same as the title for the view-only version.

In addition, make sure all columns that should be editable include the Editable=true setting and other settings that define the type of input control, validation, and update programs needed to edit the data. For a list of parameters and settings, see URL Parameters Accepted by emxTable.jsp and emxTableEdit.jsp. For examples of different types of editable columns, see Table Column Data Definition.

Write any programs needed to get data or update data and create program objects to represent them.
