OPEN A SCREEN WITHOUT LAYOUTS REFRESH

Daniele Di Lorenzo

Dear community

Inhibit initial layout execution refresh is now possible only in some cases.

1) through a procedure with an action "go to screen" + option "disable initial layout execution" or through an "On open trigger" procedure.

2) Using an ATO pager

3) while developing a layout, using the option "Apply" instead of "OK"

MY WISHES ARE:

 

USER POINT OF VIEW: the option "disable initial layout execution" should be a screen setup option; e.g. this will allow a user to 1st select the desired analysis range, then run the layout refresh.
Especially in large reports this option may be very appreciated.

 

DEVELOPER POINT OF VIEW: when a screen is opened in design mode from the screen list the layout execution should be disabled as default. Infact sometimes happens that I have to make a small change in a report; opening it I should wait its execution; in case of large reports it's a waste of time.

 

Thanks
