Define a Pop-Up Action for a One-Step

Use the Pop-Up Action to display information or to prompt Users to do something. Pop-ups are commonly used to ask Users if they wish to continue or to request additional information from them. For example:

• Use a pop-up with a Prompt to have Users select an Incident owner from a list of names.
• Display a pop-up window with a confirmation message after a Customer adds a comment to the Portal.

Good to know:

To define a Pop-Up Action:

1. Create a One-Step.
2. On the General page in the One-Step window (accessed from within the One-Step Manager), click Add, and then select Pop-Up.

   The Pop-Up window opens.

   

3. Define general properties for the Pop-Up Action:
   1. Name: Provide a display name for the Action (this is how the Action is identified in the One-Step interface).
   2. Caption: Provide a title for the pop-up window that is displayed to the User.
4. Define the contents to display as a message in the pop-up window:
   • Provide text directly in the field.
   • Click the Selector button (or right-click in the field) to open the Token tree and insert Business Object Fields (from the active Business Object (if there is a Business Object context) and all of its related objects), System Functions, Prompts, Expressions, Stored Values, Counters, filenames, file contents, or variables into the text.
5. Define the appearance of the pop-up window:
   • Format: In the drop-down, select one of the following options:
     • Message Box: Select this option to display the pop-up window as a message box with a Close button.
     • Text Box: Select this option to display the pop-up window as a text box with an OK button.
   • Show Cancel Button: Select this check box to show a Cancel button in the pop-up window. If a User clicks the Cancel button, the One-Step stops executing.

     Note: If you select the Message Box option and select to show a Cancel button, the pop-up window displays an OK button instead of a Close button.

   • Message Box Icon: In the drop-down, select an icon to display along with the message in the pop-up window (asterisk, warning, stop, question).

     Note: This option is only available for the Message Box format.
