Adding Input Controls to the Toolbar

You can use this procedure as a guideline for adding your own custom input controls to an existing or custom toolbar.

  1. In Business Modeler, locate the command you want to add to the toolbar and open it for editing.

  2. Click the Settings tab.

  3. Enter a value for the Input Type setting:

    • textbox
    • combobox
    • checkbox
    • submit

  4. Enter a value for the Action Label setting (such as a button name).

  5. To define how the input values will be processed, enter a value for the href or Submit Program:Submit Function setting.

  6. To provide a label for the input control, enter a value for the Label administrative parameter of the command object.

When the user enters a value and clicks the command button, the system submits the page to the href URL (to the target location) or JPO you specified to process the input values. Custom code must be written to read the input and perform any required processing. The code can display or alter the results.
