Link destination

Here, you can define, whether and which page is loaded when a user clicks on a tree folder.

Jump

The following options are available in this drop-down list on the right of the dialog:

• No jump
  This setting can, for example be used, if a button performs a JavaScript but should not perform another action or load a page.
• Back
  Jumps back to the previously loaded page.
• To a page of an application
  Loads the corresponding page.
• To URL
  Jumps to the URL specified in the Destination field below the drop-down list.
• To the start page of the portal
  Loads the portal's start page.

Destination

The page that should be loaded is automatically entered into this field when you click on it in the application structure depicted beneath.

Application

Here, select the application that contains the target page.

Primary key

Here, a data field from the currently selected data group can be specified. Its value will be compared to the Primary key of the target data group. If the values match, the corresponding record from the target data group will be loaded on the target page.

Destination options

Open target in current window

Opens the target page in the currently opened window.

Open target in main window

Opens the target page in the main window.

Open as popup

Opens the target page as a popup.

Open as tooltip

Opens the target page as a tooltip. The following settings can also be activated here:

• Open at mouseover
  Loads the target page in a tooltip when the mouse cursor is moved over the folder.
• Open modal
  With this setting the tooltip can no longer be left via the Close popup / tooltip link or via the close symbol in the upper right-hand corner. A modally opened tooltip can only be left and closed via buttons that you have configured accordingly.
  
  

  A tooltip can only be opened modally if it is not opened at mouseover or relatively positioned to another element. In this case, the Open modal setting is not active. A small help button will be shown next to the checkbox which will explain why the tooltip currently cannot be opened modally; this will appear as a tooltip if the user moves the mouse over the help button.

• Show page title
  This setting has the effect that the title of the page in the browser will be shown in the title bar of the tooltip.
• Show close symbol
  A symbol will be shown in the upper right-hand corner of the tooltip, allowing the tooltip to be closed.
• Configure tooltip positioning
  Opens a dialog which allows you to define how and where the tooltip is displayed on the page.

Print view

With this setting, the target page will be displayed in a format for printing. For this, the target page must be loaded in a popup window. The Print view setting has no effect for pages in the main window. In the print view of a page, all buttons will be hidden. At the foot of the page, the Print button will be automatically displayed, which will open the system dialog for printer selection.

In order to print shadows and borders, please activate the Print background colors and images option in Internet Options / Advanced in your browser. The printing of headers and footnotes can be controlled via the browser menu item File / Page setup.

Delete / Save at link destination

If the target page is opened in a popup or a tooltip, you may define here the area of the page, from which the target page will be loaded, will be refreshed. On the target page, the entire page, the current Free layout table or the Tree element can be reloaded.
