Get SAIL Form Name

vasilisg over 8 years ago

Is it possible to get the name of "this" form?

I usually break my SAIL form into multiple smaller files and components, However when I want to make an edit to a form it takes time since it requires to find the SAIL form which need to be edited. If there was an option to get the name of the form I could easily identify which component is under which form simply by having a label: "You are in form"& this.form.getName().

I appreciate any advice about performing SAIL changes faster !

Thanks

Hi vasilisg, I'm eager to know is there any property/work around for that. But in 16.2 and above the parent form shows the sub section rule name that are using when we hover mouse the section will be displayed with the section name. PFA.

Thanks chandrasekharg, if only sail forms were that easy! Sometimes forms are not visible from the Live View since they might contain null variables or be used by applyComponent, or they are gridsRow, or in cases where process variables are used. Forms can be complex!

I agree with you, we are using the precendents/dependents to open the child interfaces. Lets see what any ideas from other Practitioners to open the child interfaces without taking much time.

You may want to also consider checking for precedents. It will give you a list of all the objects used by the current form you are editing. This will work both when in an Application and when editing a rule in the Designer interface. forum.appian.com/.../Trace_Relationships_for_Impact_Analysis.html

You can open a child rule/interface from a parent rule easily.
Just hold the CTRL button and click on the child rule name in the parent rule.
I know this works on 16.2 but not sure on earlier versions.

The CTRL+click works in 16.1, one of my favorite enhancements :)
