Notify other users about changes using “Toasts”

I programmed this feature for the same project, which was already briefly described here. It’s about physically sending files and tracking them via QR code. Since this project involves working across multiple facilities, I was looking for a way to notify employees at different locations of changes to a record without interrupting work too much. We all know the so-called “toast” notifications. I use these for this purpose. There are many javascript libraries for this. I decided on this one, which maps what I need for this: Toastr Detail View Suppose we are working on a data set. At the …

Autohide children-tabs, show on hover

If you, like me, like to make the most of the available space, then maybe this idea is something for you. Tracking Software In a small project, any file* can be sent (by delivery service) from one location to another location of the same organization and tracked using a QR code. * This project is all about physical document files, file-folders or boxes full of documents like court-files/court-records, which sometimes have to be physically sent to a different place.

Styling a Table View: a step-by-step example

After we took care of the styling of the Detail View last time, today I will adapt the corresponding Table View. Initial situation Remove links First I would like to remove the links so that the values in the table are shown as text, not as a link. I could and should have done this already during modelling, but I did not. So I have to do it in AppGini – field by field. Then save and regenerate. Except the file link (download) there are now only values in the table. If I want to open a record, I need …
