Editor Properties

In addition to the Common Properties, the following properties are available for actions which can be started from an editor ('Place = Editor'):

  • Menu

    Determines if the action will be available as an item in the editor menu.

  • Save

    Specifies that the action will be used to save changes made in the editor.

  • Keygen

    Specifies that running the action triggers generation of a business key. Used for Create New transactions where a new business key is needed.

  • Escape

    Specifies what should happen (what action is called) when the user closes the window using the cross icon in the top right-hand corner of the window. Applies to the Catalog, Editor and Object Browser. Usually the user should be prompted to save any changes before proceeding the close action.

  • Reuse Transaction
  • Commitable

    'Reuse Transaction' and 'Commitable' determine how closely functionally interconnected are an action and the editor in which the action is used. For example, if an action called from the editor of object A results in modification of object B, should these changes of object B be saved as soon as the action is performed or only after object A is saved?

    Please see topic 'Reuse Transaction and Commitable' for detailed explanation.
