In-Depth Information
° When New Item : The element fires when a user navigates from one
field to another in the target form. Else, if you select a value in each of
the Block Name and Field Name fields (which is recommended), the
element fires when a user navigates to the specified field.
° When New Record : The element fires when a user navigates from
one record (new or existing) to another. You may select a block name
if you want to restrict the firing to the selection of a record within the
specified block.
° When Validate Record : The element fires whenever a user saves a
record. You may select a block name if you want to restrict the firing to
the saving of a record while the cursor is located in the specified block.
° Zoom Special : This special event makes a zoom regardless of
subscribers. It ignores the subscribers until the moment the zoom
action is selected on the Oracle Form. So it enables conditional use of
the zoom to navigate to different entities. In essence, the zoom shows
up regardless of the subscribers, but does not function when a user
tries to zoom and the subscriber evaluates as false.
° Undocumented events : Undocumented events associated with
the target form appear in the Event list of values if they have been
captured by the Event Tracker. You can also capture undocumented
events manually. No matter how such events are captured. However,
Oracle does not support them and the installation of a patch may
cause them to disappear.
° Audit : The Audit event is no longer supported. Do not select it.
3. If you want the element to target a block or a field, and you have selected an
event that allows it to do so, select the block in the Block Name field, which
offers a selection of values captured by the Event Tracker.
4. If you want the element to target a field, and you have selected an event
that allows it to do so, select the field in the Field Name field, which offers
a selection of values that have been captured by the Event Tracker and that
exist in the block you selected in step 2.
5.
Select the Debug textbox to cause Form Rules to display messages as the rule
element is being run. Else, clear the textbox to prevent the display of
such messages.
6.
Select the Active checkbox to make the element active or clear the textbox to
hold the element in reserve.
7.
Save the rule. Click on File in the menu bar, then on Save in the File menu.
