5.2 Establishing Communication Between Panels

You can establish communication between two panels so that an action in one panel is triggered by an action in the other. For example, you can configure a Process Instance panel to listen for actions that occur in a View List panel. Then, when a user selects a given view in the View List panel, that action triggers the use of that view in the Process Instance panel.

5.2.1 How to Establish Communication Between Panels

To establish communication between panels, you configure one panel, designed with listening capabilities, to monitor actions in one or more source panels. An action occurring in a source panel then triggers an action in the listening panel. To establish communication between panels: 1. In the custom page, click Edit Mode. The entire page is available for editing. 2. Create a source panel and select the appropriate option from the Data Source list. 3. Create a listening panel. This time, do not select anything from the Data Source list.

4. Expand Communication with other panels, and, in the Selected event sources

window, select the source panel created in step 2. Figure 5–5 shows an example of of the Process Workspace interface in which communication is being established between a source panel and a listening panel. Figure 5–5 Establishing Communication Between Panels
