EZ-MES provides the end-user great flexibility with the Form Script Document Type.  This allows for the addition of a custom Tab and custome Attributes.  These custom Attributes can be made to specifically handle your needs.

Current Objects That  support Custom Tab

• PD
• RQ
• DC
• FR
• PO

Determining Custom Attribute Names

Attribute Names require a specific prefix for the application to use them properly.  Attribute Names are the field names in which your data is stored under.

Depending on what object you are creating the tab for, PD, RQ, DC, or FR, each will require a prefix to have full functionality of your custom attribute name.  After the prefix, you can name it as you like as long as it is restricted to a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and underscore.  There are no spaces or special characters allowed, other than a underscore.

For Example

 Work Orders / RQ Object Attributes ( 'sRQ_Custom_ ' is the required prefix )

sDB: 'sRQ_Custom_Text1'
sDB: 'sRQ_Custom_Number02'

Travelers / FR Object Attributes (  'sFR_Custom_ ' is the required prefix

sDB: 'sFR_Custom_Text1'
sDB: 'sFR_Custom_Number02'

Creating a Form Script Document Type

Create New Document, then set the Document Type Attribute to 'Form Script.  Give this new document the following values

• Title: Work Order Tab - Custom
• Doc Number: DC12-WO1
• Revision: A
• Document Type: Form Script

Making your Form Script

The form script is made of JSON code surrounded by a JavaScript Function.  However, the meat of the activity is performed by the JSON object.  Below you can see the image of what the JSON looks like before being enclosed in the JavaScript Function.  If you need help verifying your JSON, please use this website http://jsonviewer.stack.hu/.  

Download the Sample Code

JSON Block without the function call

You should now insert your JSON code into the Function call - Object.extend( FormObject,JSONcode,boolean)  You can view the sample Function Call without JSON Block.

Function Call without the JSON Block

Here you can download the full Function with JSON Code inserted.

Uploading File to Form Script Document Type

Now that you have completed the prototype.arTab Function you can upload it to the previously created Form Script Document Type you made.

Make sure your file has a .JSON extension, then upload your file to the document and move it from Pending to Active.

Viewing Your Update

To view the custom changes you made to your Work Order Form you will need to hit F5 on your browser so that all JavaScript code will refresh.

You should see something similar to the image below.

Fixing broken script

If you upload a bad script it is possible to load the application with these custom scripts disabled buy appending a "?scripts=false" to your application URL. And example would be http://gemini.eazyworks.com/?scripts=false
