How to configure section mini pages

Mini pages enable you to add and edit section records, as well as preview them without having to open the complete record page. Configuration is performed in the Section Wizard.

Note

For more information on mini pages, please refer to the separate article. Read more >>> 

To configure a mini page for a custom section:

Attention

Please note that the example below refers to a custom case. The [Requests] section was created by custom means, it is not included in the base bpm’onlne configuration.

1.Go to Section Wizard from the [Requests] section: [View] –> [Open Section Wizard].

2.Select an option when you want to use the mini page (Fig. 1):

  • [Add record] – the mini page will open when the user clicks the [Add] button in the section. The user can then open standard record page from the mini page.

  • [Edit record] – to edit the existing records (adds an “edit” button to the mini page). Enable editing by clicking the chapter_minicards_edit.png button at the top right corner of the mini page.

  • [View record] – to view the main information about the record without opening the record page (mini-page will open when you hover your cursor over the record link shown in a list).

5.Click the [Edit mini page] button to switch to Mini Page Designer.

The HeaderContainer element at the top of the field setup area of the Mini Page Designer is non-editable and is used for the correct display of the mini page caption.

Working with column properties on mini pages is similar to that of the regular section page. Read more >>>.
