- DanteTognoliQrew CaptainIt's primarily a UI thing as you can get to the record fairly easily from the referenced report, but there are a lot of users and it's easy for them to get off-track.
- QuickBaseCoachDQrew Captainre: If I could put the button in the report, that might work but I haven't been successful trying to do so.
Why cant't you do the above. - DanteTognoliQrew Captainwhen I put it in the report it showed up as an unclickable url. I'll play with is some more and see if I can get it working.
- DanteTognoliQrew CaptainSo, the button works in the report as long as it is on the NVG app, but when I reference it over to the FDR app the button is just text.
- QuickBaseCoachDQrew CaptainWhat do you mean by "It's just text" What field type is this and if it is a URL formula type did you specify a label for the button?
- DanteTognoliQrew CaptainThe field is a report link referencing the NVG app NVG status table where the button resides. When I look at a report including the URL field for the button on the NVG status app it works correctly.
- DanteTognoliQrew Captainbut when I use it in a report link it is just text
- DanteTognoliQrew CaptainWhen I click on the link in the Flight Duty and Rest table Quickbase says it is a report field and that it is not editable.
- QuickBaseCoachDQrew CaptainI'm not understanding the issue well enough from the screen shots to understand the issue. Can you post a zoomed in screen shot of just the embedded repor in that last screen shot.
- DanteTognoliQrew CaptainSure thing. Where it says Create New Discrepancy in the embedded report is the problem. If I look at that report in the NVG app that field is a Formula URL field which displays as a button and works correctly. Once I embed it, it no longer works.
- QuickBaseCoachDQrew CaptainAre you trying to push a button while in Grid Edit Mode? Is that embedded report in the screen shot in Grid Edit Mode. If so then you cannot have a button in Grid Edit mode.
The best you could do is to have a similar report not in Grid edit mode on the form where the user can push a button there. So have similar report twice on the same form, one goes into Grid Edit mode and one does not. In View mode only one would show. - DanteTognoliQrew CaptainThat is an excellent idea. All of the users are generally in edit mode using this form. I didn't realize grid edit mode would make the button not work. Thanks!
