8.1. Enabling Insert
8.1.1. Allowing Inserting Data in a Form Page
8.1.2. Building Insert Only Form Pages
Use property Single-Row Insert allowed? JHeadstart will generate a ‘New’ button on
the page.
Sometimes you want a page where the user can only enter new records, for example an
application for entering new service requests. In this case, a user must not be able to
query other data.
In such a case, set Layout Style to form, Advanced Search? and Quick Search?
properties to none, and disable Auto Query ? for the group.
When generating, you will get a warning now. To really disable all query functionality
for the group, change the View Object query settings. Go to the View Object and change
the view into an ‘Insert only’ View.
If you test the page by running the page directly from JDeveloper, you will see that it
does not start with a new empty row. This is because with insert-only pages, the creation
of a new row is performed when JSF navigates to a special Start[groupName] outcome,
which occurs if you navigate to the page from a menu 1 tab for example. So always test
the page through clicking a tab, or by creating a home page that uses the
Start[groupName] outcome. If you nevertheless want to start the page directly in insert
mode, you should include a request parameter Start[groupName]=true in the URL that
you use to start the page.
