NavigationType
How the screen should be treated when encountered during navigation between screens. Note that in the full-function code generators, you have the opportunity to override this value in the TaskScreen element associated with this screen.
Value |
Meaning |
Standard |
Default, should be read/written |
Self Contained Search |
When in a transaction, needs navigation entry performed (keyVariable/literal) in order to see results. Use for search screens where the criteria for the search is on the same screen, with results typically displayed as a list below the criteria following and ENTER or Function key press.
Note: the Self Contained Search screen will also be interpreted as a DrillDown List type if an Action column or cursor action is defined for any contained multirow map. |
InfoIgnore |
Informational popup, ignore information |
InfoCollect |
Informational, grab all fields in any map starting with "Message" |
Exception |
Error screen that will cancel any active transaction, returning any messages from fields starting with "Message" |
TempFlash |
A temporary flash screen that never requires any user action to remove from the display |
CustomEntry |
When generating navigation routines, create overridable user methods for navigating from this screen. This should be used for non-standard screens or screens where the generated navigation is not working correctly. |
DrillDown List |
Screen contains at least one multirow list that is used to select the next screen with an action column. Commonly known as a "Subfile Screen" with AS400/iSeries applications.
Note: select Self Contained Search if the screen has fields to be filled-in and entered to provide the list for drilldown, since the Self Contained Search is also considered a DrillDown when settings support drilling-down. |
Dynamic Menu |
Menu Screen and menu options change depending on user profile or other factors--runtime navigation needs to match text for the option to get the active value based on the live screen. |
