Adding new fields to a dialog

You can use the Application Designer to add new fields to a dialog.

About this task

You can add new fields to a dialog using the Application Designer either by cloning an existing dialog or by editing the library.xml. For more details on cloning dialogs, see Cloning and Modifying Offering dialogs in Application Designer topics.

Procedure

  1. Go to System Configuration > Platform Configuration > Application Designer.
  2. Click the Export System XML action to export the library.xml file. The Export System XML dialog is displayed.
  3. From the dialog, click Export XML Export XML next to LIBRARY.
  4. Edit the exported library.xml by searching for the dialog with an ID of "defaultDialogCR".
  5. Add data attributes at the end of the dialog.
  6. If you want to only display the attribute if there is a value, add the sigoption to the new .xml element. It would look like this if you were adding a new ALNVALUE31 element:
    <textbox dataattribute="alnvalue31" id="defaultDialogCR_alnvalue31" label="{0}" 
    sigoption="CRDISPALN31">
    <paramvalues id="defaultDialogCR_alnvalue31_params" property="label">
    <paramvalue dataattribute="alndesc31" id="defaultDialogCR_alnvalue31_params_1" 
    position="0"/>
    </paramvalues>
    </textbox>
    <combobox dataattribute="alnvalue31" id="defaultDialogCR_alndom31" label="{0}" 
    lookup="VALUELIST" sigoption="CRDISPALND31">
    <paramvalues id="defaultDialogCR_alndom31_params" property="label">
    <paramvalue dataattribute="alndesc31" id="defaultDialogCR_alndom31_params_1" 
    position="0"/>
    </paramvalues>
    </combobox>
  7. On the Applications tab, click Import Application Definition Import Application Definition to import the modified library.xml into the system. The Import Application Definition dialog is displayed.
