Use of TAB and to close browser using action buttons

Post by manoj928 »

Hello Experts,

Need your help in figuring out how to implement these two options in web-sheets:

1. We designed a web-form using web-sheet in TM1 with cell for data inputs. as it is built on excel, so movement is cell wise. Is there any way i can make movement Tab wise from one data input cell to another and hence to action buttons. Please guide us to achieve it if there is any workaround.
2. We have Link in each row of data displayed in web-sheet and that link opens up another web-form to feed data in a separate IE window. In that web-form we have a cancel action button, using which we want to achieve option to close newly opened IE browser window. Please let me know if we can do that and how.

Thanks in advance.

I do not understand what you mean by cell-wise vs. tab-wise. If you mean make the next active cell to the right not down then the simple answer is exactly as per Excel - just use the tab key or right arrow key.

For your 2nd question you might want to again review the request for assistance guidelines as you haven't given any clue as to the browser or as to what the additional web form is. Is it a cube view or websheet or some completely customized bespoke html? If it is the later then obviously you can include a button to close the tab if it is either of the former then the "cancel" button is the little cross in the top right of the browser tab or window!

Thanks a lot for reply.

Actually we put together a form design in web-sheet where we can't put input cell next to each other. so just wanted to know if anyhow we can implement Tab wise movement in that form.

On 2nd point, we have created that form using web-sheet. I know we have Browser cancel option, but in multiple tabbed window..user don want to close all. i know even they can close from it from tab window option, but i was looking for some easy option to user, so that on hitting cancel action button they can close the open window/tab.

Thanks,
Manoj
