Selections after refresh in web version

Hello everybody,

There is a "dangerous" behaviour after refreshing a screen in web version (refresh with the native button of the browser or entering in the url bar and clicking intro),
in some capsules/projects after refreshing the browser jumps to the home screen (is not the best option but it is safe in terms of security), and in other capsules the browser keeps the same screen but the selection is reset to the one that was configured when the screen was saved.

The second option means, that if you are applying the users security by procedure (based on cubes and so on), after refreshing the user will see more information that they should.

The solution can be reached saving the screen with a "not available" selection or something like this, ok, but my question is: anybody knows when the refresh action brings you to the home screen and when the refresh keeps the same screen?

I think this is something important to know because for HR projects the information is really sensible.

I was doing some tests and it not seem to be related with the Board version with which the capsule was created.

Thank you!

    Hi Marcos,

    if the #screenlist is hidden, you get redirected to the home screen of the capsule after a browser refresh. Further, in that case you cannot open the screen using the URL but only through navigation within the capsule.

    Hope this helps.
    Best regards
    Bettina

    Hi Bettina,

    are you referring to a particular board version?

    Because I'm working on B.10.6.0.1.32761, with the screenlist set as hidden, but I'm not redirected to the Home page if I use the browsers-native buttons.
    I just remain in the same screen loosing all the selections.
    I've workaround it by inserting a massive label that covers all the screen with the sentence "GO TO HOME PAGE" written on it.

    Am I missing something or is just a Board version issue?

    Thanks,
    Edoardo
