Projects:Selector

Introduction

The Selector module makes it possible to define/create fields in Openbravo windows with a suggestion box behavior and a popup window for a more detailed view on the selectable data.

The selector module allows a consultant to define a selector through the Application Dictionary. The selector extends the Openbravo Reference concept with a new type of Reference: Selector. This reference can then be used when defining a Column in the Application Dictionary.

Some specific features:

• No programming is needed for defining a selector.
• A selector can be created for any table in Openbravo and can support custom datasources.
• The definition of a selector can be changed at runtime.
