Standard actionable icons
Standard variations of pxIcon are provided. Each is preconfigured with an icon, tooltip, and action. As a best practice, use these standard rules to ensure correct appearance and behavior.
If the action is not included in the list, keep pxIcon and use the Parameters dialog to configure the control.
This table below provides the icon name, the description of action invoked when clicked, and the standard icon control, which contains its parameters.
| Icon Name | Icon and Action | > Control Rule |
|---|---|---|
Add Item | Adds (above or below) a row to a grid, tree, or tree grid layout | pxIconAddItem |
Add New Work | Adds a new work item using the primary page data. Saves the new work item on the deferred list. | pxIconAddNewWork |
Attachments | Presents a list of work item attachments, so users can view or add attachments. This icon appears only for users who hold the Work-.AccessAuditTrail privilege. | pxIconAttachments |
Blank | No action is associated with it. | pxIcon |
Cancel | Closes the current form without applying any changes. | pxIconCancel |
Contents | For a cover work item, changes the form to allow users to view and navigate among the covered work items. You can override a standard list view rule to control details of this display. | pxIconContents |
Delete Item | Removes a row in a grid, tree, or tree grid layout. | pxIconDeleteItem |
Enable Action Section | Presents the user form in review-only mode; inputs allowed in the action section only. | pxEnableActionSection |
Expand/Collapse | Redraw the form with all areas fully expanded. | pxIconExpandCollapse |
Explore | For a folder work item, changes the form to allow users to view and navigate among the associated work items. | pxIconExplore |
Finish Assignment | Submits changes and marks this assignment as complete. | pxIconFinishAssigment |
Get Next Work | Cancels any unsubmitted changes and finds the most important assignment to work on next. | pxIconGetNextWork |
History | Displays the work item history, for users who hold the Work-.AccessAuditTrail privilege. | pxIconHistory |
Print | Starts browser-based printing, which prints the current user form as displayed. This printout may not include desired fields and may use colors, fonts, and labels that are not desired in hard copy prints. | pxIconPrint |
Reopen Work Item | Reopens a resolved work item, for users who hold the Work-.Reopen privilege. Runs the standard activity Work-.Reopen or your application override. | pxIconReopenWorkItem |
Review | Presents the user form in review-only mode, allowing no updates. | pxIconReview |
Save | Saves the work item with Submit. | pxIconSave |
Show Flow Location | Known as the Where-am-I? icon marks the location of the current assignment with an arrow. This icon appears only to users who hold the Perform privilege. | pxIconShowFlowLocation |
Show Reopen Screen | Shows the form in review mode but allows users to reopen a resolved work item. Available to users who hold the Work-.Reopen privilege. Runs the standard activity Work-.Reopen or your application override. | pxIconShowReopenScreen |
Spell Checker | Enables spell-checking. See How to enable spellchecking in user forms. | pxIconSpellChecker |
Update |
Redraws the form in update mode. Appears only for users who hold the
Work-.Update
privilege. Update mode allows changes to values that appear in sections other than the TAKE ACTION section.
This capability is not desirable in all applications, as it allows users to overwrite values entered previously, perhaps by other users. The Apply button sends changed user inputs to the server, but does not commit these changes. The user must select and complete a flow action to save the changes. See Understanding transactions in flow executions. | pxIconUpdate |
