System Views inline? Add? Iโve got a 3-tier hierarchy: property/violations/photos. Iโve set up ref fields and such so that I can dereference all the way back from photos to property, and in so doing the system auto-created a photos inline view that shows up in the Properties slideshow: I actually like this. However, it has a New button, and if one adds a photo here, itโs referenced to the property and not to a violation, which is going to be trouble. I need to remove/disable that New button (so you can go to photos, but not add a new one from this view, only from the corresponding Violations view), but I canโt figure it out. I assume itโs in a System view or behaviorโฆ Iโm still learning them, but I canโt find itโฆ I may have โispartofโ problems in there, since Iโm not sure Iโve applied that consistently/correctly.
Hi Keith,
If you have a three tier hierarchy, then each Property detail view will show related Violations. Each Violation detail view will see Photos.
By the fact that you said that the Property detail view shows related Photos, it strikes me that the relationships are not quite right. You can see this in the Data -> Column Structure pane.
Thank you Praveen. Hereโs the deal: as per some support article I read some where, I created the Virtual column in Photos (PropertyRef) so I can do 2nd-level dereferencing. That works perfectly, but creates the photos view in Properies. I hadnโt expected that (probably should have), and I actually like it, as long as I can get rid of the New button in that view. I think thatโs the inline view for Photos? Except that of course I need the New for the Photos Inline from Violations. Iโm still sorting out system views, sorry if Iโm showing my ignorance.
If itโs in the form, it sounds like an Isapartofโฆ In the photos column structure go to the column for property ref, and set the isapartof to falseโฆ
If itโs inline in the details view, then go to the details view for projects, and simply remove that ref from the columnsโฆ (Which means you might need to change the show all columns to choosing which ones you needโฆ) Furthermore, the detail view for projects could potentially be a system view right nowโฆ
Thank you Grant. It appears that PropertyRef is already false โispartofโ. If in Column Order I list only those columns I want shown (including the ViolationsRef, which results in the Violations Inline), the Photos Inline does disappear. Thatโs better than nothing. I was sort of wondering though: is it possible to have Photos Inline show up without a NEW button in Property Details, but show up WITH a NEW button in Violation Details? This isnโt very important, and if I hadnโt stumbled upon it I wouldnโt ask, but at least Iโm learning a little more about how views work! Thanks for any help!
@Keith_Winston yesโฆ What you need to do is create a slice of the photos, and donโt allow adds on that sliceโฆ Then use that slice name as the table name for the refrowsโฆ Then it wonโt allow adds
Thanks Grant, I almost follow. I can create the slice, and point the inline to it. But (if I follow) I need to have 2 different Photo Inline views: one looking at the slice, one at the table, aka one without add ability, one with; and the first needs to be referred to in the Properties Slideshow, and the second needs to be referred to in the Locations Slideshow. The problem is, I donโt think I understand how to make that distinction. I think one or perhaps both of them have to override the system Photo Inline view (maybe only the 1st), but then I donโt really understand how to make that the go-to photo inline for Properties. Where is that set? Thanks!!!
The properties table should have itโs own REFROW and the locations table should have itโs own REFROW. So, you need to point one to the accepts adds slice, and the other to the doesnโt accept adds sliceโฆ
