Add section pages

You can set up different edit pages for different record types in a section.  Learn more about the functionality and purpose of record pages in the “Record pages” article.

To add multiple edit pages to a section, follow the below steps:

1.Open the needed section (e.g., the [Requests] section).

2.Click [View] -> [Open Section Wizard].

3.In the [Section pages] area, click [btn_chapter_mobile_wizard_new_role.png Add page].

Note

After saving the new section in the Section Wizard, the [Section pages] area will change. Instead of the [Page setup] button, the [Edit page] and [Add page] buttons are displayed (Fig. 1).

Attention

Before adding multiple pages to a section, set up the main page. Open the page setup wizard by clicking the [Edit page] button. Read more >>>

4.Populate the fields in the opened window (Fig. 3):

Fig. 2 Adding a new edit page

chapter_section_wizard_adding_multiple_pages_setup.png 

a.[Which field will determine the page layout?] – select the field, whose values will determine, which page to use for each record. For example, in the [Requests] section, you can set up different edit pages for different request categories: online requests and offline requests.

Note

The corresponding lookup column must be added to the section page, otherwise, it will not be available for selection in the drop-down list of the [Which field will determine the page layout?]

b.Select the value of the "..." field for which the new page will be used – the value of the lookup field selected at the previous step. This value is available in the section on the [Add] button menu. Select it to open the desired page. For example, specify the “Online” value when configuring the online request page for the [Request type] field.

Note

For new sections, populate the corresponding lookup with values in advance, You can also enter a new value directly in the [Select the value of the "..." field for which the new page will be used] field and Creatio will offer to add this lookup value. Read more >>> 

c.[Page name] – the name of the new section page. The field is populated with a default value that looks as follows: “Edit page: “Section name” (Name of the corresponding lookup value). For example, “Record page: Requests (Online).” "Requests" (Online).” You can rename the page using any custom name to make it clearer for other users, e.g., ”Online requests” (Fig. 3).

5.Click [Continue].

6.On the Content Designer page that opens, configure the added page.

Note

You can set up additional section pages similarly to setting up the first section page.

Multiple pages of the same section can differ from each other: you can apply separate business rules for the page fields and link different section cases to each section page, as well as add different field groups and details that are only relevant for this particular request category.

To stop using a page in the section:

1.Delete the value in the [Values of the “...” lookup] column in the [Section pages] area.

2.After you delete the data, the field will automatically set to “Not used.” The page will be saved, but will not open for users (Fig. 4).

3.Click [Save] to save the changes in the section.

1.In the [Section pages] block of the Section Wizard, click btn_com_roles_actions_menu.png next to the name of the section page you want to delete.

2.Select [Remove] from the drop-down menu (Fig. 5).

To modify the column that determines the page view:

1.In the [Section pages] area, click btn_com_folder_filter.png.

2.In the opened window, select the new lookup field that determines the page type. For example, select the [Category] column instead of the [Type] column.

Note

After you change the column, the [Values of the “...” lookup] field value will be set to “Not used” for all edit pages configured earlier.

3.Specify the selected lookup values that will use the configured edit pages.

4.Rename the pages accordingly if needed (Fig. 6).
