Create a Header Detail Page

Header Detail pages are a Page Type that displays two linked pages in parent and dependent panes.

When creating a Header Detail page:

• A table is not required.

• The two pages with views and tables (as in, the parent and child page) must be registered to the WebApp but not registered to the Navigation pane.

• The two pages must be linked with the Link to Page ID column property.

• The parent page must be assigned to the Parent frame for the Header Detail page.

• The Link To Page ID column must be selected to display in the Dependent pane. If multiple columns are linked, it will link to the first column by default.

• The Header Detail page must be added to the Navigation pane.

Note

If there are multiple buttons on the Header page that link to different Detail pages, the INITIAL PAGE COLUMN setting must be set to determine the Detail page that displays when the Header Detail page opens.

Note

The INITIAL PAGE COLUMN field must always be completed to ensure both the Header and Detail pages can automatically open when the page is being rendered.
