Hi,

I want to display a message informing an user to check their mail when a button is clicked. The button is for exporting the grid to excel.

How do I do that?

Thanks

Hello sandhya,

how do you define "message"?

my first instinct. Use a read only paragraphfield on a form. and offer a download link with it?

Kinda depending on exactly where this button is and what other things you're expecting it to do, one feature you might be able to make use of is the "Confirmation Message" configuration which gives the user a pop-up (where you can make the message whatever you want), along with ok / cancel buttons (where you can change their labels but not what they do), and they have to press the "ok" button for the base button to take effect.

Hi Mike and Richard,

The button is for exporting a grid to excel and when an user clicks it, an email is sent with the excel spreadsheet as attachment.

So I want to inform the users to check their mail.

I don't want to keep it as a confirmation message.

Thanks

From the user's perspective, what will happen after clicking the "export to excel" button, other than the export being emailed to them? Does the process end? Or do you want them to remain on / return to the same form?

The alert banner pattern can be useful for this.

Ok, but how can I use it with button click?

you change with button click a local! parameter and use this local parameter as showwhen condition:
Alert banner are basically nothing else than an a!cardlayout()
