PDM Macro Definitions › elsEditField

elsEditField

The elsEditField macro specifies an editable field for the Edit in List feature of a list form. You specify that a list form has the Edit in List feature by including the elsStartEdit and elsEndEdit macros. You define the fields on the Edit in List form with one or more elsEditField and elsEditReadOnly macros. For example:

<PDM_MACRO name=elsStartEdit search_filter="__search_filter">
<PDM_MACRO name=elsEditField . . .>
<PDM_MACRO name=elsEditField . . .>
<PDM_MACRO name=elsEditReadonly . . .>
. . .
<PDM_MACRO name=elseEndEdit>

This macro has the following properties:

attr=attributeName

(Required) Specifies the name of the attribute associated with the control.

colspan=1|number

Specifies the number of columns on the form.

datatype=0

Specifies the data type for input validation. The only datatype supported is 0, which causes the field to be validated as an integer.

EndRow=yes|no

Specifies whether the field is the last one in a row on the Edit in List form. Specifying EndRow=yes causes CA Service Desk Manager to display the next field on a new line of the form.

extraEvt=function()

Specifies a JavaScript function that is called as an onchange event handler when a user modifies the field.

extraURL=string

Specifies a where clause predicate in URL format to restrict the contents of the control.

size=20|number

Specifies the width of the input field.

StartRow=yes|no
