Area Page

The first item in each Navigation pane category is a link to the Area Page for that category. The Area Page displays links that allow the user to navigate to various windows and reports that are part of the category.

Area Page command

A command is used to define the Area Page content for a Navigation pane category. Typically, you will add the command for the Area Page to the same command form that you are using for the other commands in your integration. Refer to Commands for more information about commands for an integrating application.

The command used for the Area Page should have the following characteristics:

Command Name   The command name should indicate that the command is being used for an area page. For instance, the command for the sample integrating application is named AreaPage_IGSample.

Display Name   This name is used for the text of the Area Page link that appears in the Navigation Pane.

Type   The command type must be set to Script. The script defines what items are displayed in the Area Page. Details of this script are found in the next section.

Image Type   This should be set to Icon.

Normal Image   This should be set to AreaPage.

Area Page content

The content of the Area Page is defined by the script attached to the command used for it. You will use procedures described in Area Page scripts to create the content for the Area Page. The command script performs the following actions:

• Hides the link to customize the Home page.
• Creates the XML document used for the Area Page.
• Adds content areas for the Area Page.
• Adds commands and command lists for items that appear on the page.
• Displays the Area Page.

The following example shows the code for command that defines the sample Area Page in the sample integrating application.

local AreaPageXMLState XMLState;

call Command_HideAndDisable, command CustomizeHomePage of form Command_System;

{Add items to the Area page}
call Create of form syAreaPageXML, XMLState, "Sample";

{Add items if needed}
if not empty(XMLState:XMLDoc) then
	{Cards}
	call AddContentArea of form syAreaPageXML, XMLState, getmsg(9823) {Cards}, IMAGE_CARDS of form syAreaPageXML, true, 1;
	call AddCommand of form syAreaPageXML, XMLState, command IG_Lead_Maintenance of form Command_IG_Sample;
