Example: 

Let’s build and execute the “RedirectDef” example.  

  • Create a new Form Definition called “RedirectDef.” 
  • Drag the “BootstrapGrid, Label, TextArea, Redirect, and Submit” controls to the canvas and arrange them as shown below.

 

  • Double-click the “Redirect” control to set up the “Settings” properties. A pop-up window appears for configuration. The application displays the control name. Enter the button label text. Select the “Hide” checkbox to hide this widget during runtime. Select the “Read-Only” checkbox to view the list without making a selection. Select the “Open” checkbox to open the URL in a new window. Enter the redirect URL. Click the Save button. 

 

  • Double-click the “Redirect” widget to configure the “Styling” properties. Choose the input width from the drop-down menu. Enter the CSS syntax. Select the classes to apply from the global drop-down menu. Click the Save button. 

 

  • Double-click the “Redirect” widget to configure the “Other” properties. Enter the tooltip text. Click the Save button. 

 

  • Double-click the “Redirect” widget to set up the “Globalize” properties. The application will notify you if there is nothing to globalize, as shown below. Otherwise, choose a language from the drop-down menu, then click the Translate button. Finally, click the Save button.

 

  • Save the Form Definition. Select Actions > Create Form Instance. Generate a new Form Instance, then check the box to edit it.

 

  • The Form is displayed to the user, as shown below. Enter some text and click the Redirect button.
