This interface allows defining the navigating behavior of the application

Navigation Interface. Navigation Interface.

Exit URL

URL to where the user goes when he clicks on the “exit” button.

Close on Exit

Close the browser window when the user clicks on the “exit” button.

Redirect URL

Redirect to another URL in case there aren’t any global variables available.

Redirect Variable

Creates a variable with the application name and sends it to the redirected application.

Return After Inserting

It opens the inserted record in edit mode instead of to open a new blank form.

Exit Application

It redirects to another application after inserting, updating, or deleting a record.

Messages

On this screen, you can redefine the default application messages to the end-user by customizing the validation messages for Insert, Update, and Delete. You can also define messages for SQL errors and the confirmation outputs.

Messages

Messages Interface Messages.

No Records Message

The message displayed when the application has no records.

Primary key violation

The message displayed when there is a violation in the database’s primary key constraint.

Unique key violation

The message displayed when there is a violation in the database’s unique constraint.

Insertion Messages

Insertion Interface Messages.

Message After Insert

The message displayed when inserting a new record.

Message to Confirm Insert

The message displayed if the end-user wants to confirm the inserting of a new record.

Update Messages

Update Interface Messages.

Message After Update

The message displayed when updating a record.

The message displayed if the end-user wants to confirm the changes of a record.

Messages of delete

Delete Interface Messages.

Message After Delete

The message displayed when deleting a record.

Message to confirm Delete

Displays a customized message asking to confirm the record deletion.

If you make no changes, the application will use the default values for the messages. Those values can be configured in Locales -> Application Language.

Global Variables

This screen shows all global variables used in the application

The global variable is an external parameter required for running the application. The application can include global variables in the WHERE clause, field definitions and names, event programming, and so on.

You can define global variables by using square brackets ([variable]). You can pass the parameters to the application through one of the methods: Session, Post, and Get

IMPORTANT: if you need to use Database Identifiers in your tables, we recommend using the double quotation marks( “ ) instead of the brackets( [ ] ) because of the conflict with the of Global Variables syntax{:target=”_blank”} Scriptcase. Using the brackets as database identifiers may lead to problems in the Scriptcase applications.

Global variables Interface. Global variables Interface.

Example:

Select CustomerID, CustomerName from Customers WHERE CustomerID = '[v_customerid]'

We do not recommend using session variables (global variables) with the same name as the table fields.

In this case, the variable v_customerid is displaying in the global variables configuration.

Global variables configuration Interface. Global variables configuration Interface.

Attribute

It shows the variable’s name in the application.

Value

Defines the behavior of the variables, divided into three blocks, they are:

Scope

Defines how the application receives the variable. A variable defined as the POST method in the app does not receive value if it comes with the GET method. Those are the methods available:

  • Session: Defines that the variable must be created as a PHP session variable by another application.
  • GET: Defines that the variable must be passed by the URL, that is, visible by the browser.
  • POST: Defines that the variable must be passed through the POST method of an HTML form.
    Settings
  • Optional: Check it to don’t validate the variable at runtime.
Type (In / Out)

Defines whether the variable comes from another application (In), or it is starting in the current app (Out).

Description

Indicates where the application is using the variable.

Synchronize table

This process will performs a comparison between the definitions of application fields and the connected database fields. If there is any change within the connected table, such as adding a new field, exclusion, or a change in the data type, the changes will appear visible like in the image below:

Table synchronization interface. Table synchronization interface.

After accessing the function from the link “Synchronize table” you will see a comparison table between the application fields (left table) and the database table fields (right table), like the image above, the fields highlighted in “red” will be deleted of the application, the highlighted fields in “Green” will be inserted in the form, and the highlighted fields in “orange” will be updated, so data type will be updated.

To rename a field in the database table, the table synchronization effect, by comparison, will be the same as deleting a field that existed in the application and the inclusion of a new field.
