  • 1.  Create a simple edit record button

    Posted 10-31-2022 16:25
    I am attempting to create a button to use on a table or a form to allow not so familiar users to find easily.

    I am using this formula
    "?act=API_EditRecord"

    in a URL-formula field but am getting an error.

    Is the URL-Formula field the way to go?

    That looks like an API parameter.
    For building links to use within the APP its "a=er"

    Post your entire formula if you need any more help.

    ?act=API_EditRecord is used when your button is editing the record behind-the-scenes; and not directly by the User.

    ?a=er is when you want the user to navigate to a record Form and edit manually (er = edit record OR dr = display record)

    Hopefully that clarifies for those interested.
