Interacting with a Pager Object

Article summary

Depending on its configuration, the Pager Object provides various interactive features, as described in the following paragraphs.

Any custom filter applied using a Pager Object will be lost if you leave the Screen or update it.

How to make a selection on a Pager

To make a selection on a Pager, proceed as follows:

  1. Click on the down-facing arrow next to the Entity name (or a previously selected Entity member) to open the members list

  2. Select the desired Entity member by clicking on it.

You can also make a selection by clicking on the Entity name (or a previously selected Entity member) and typing the desired member's name. This feature is particularly useful when the associated Entity includes a large number of members.

Search results will automatically appear below as you type: once you've located the Entity member you want to select, click on it.

The selection is applied as soon as you pick a member: once done, the data displayed by all other Objects on the Screen will instantly update to reflect the current selection, as shown below.

When a selection is applied, the background of the selected member in the dropdown list turns white while the background of all other members turns gray, as in the following example:

Pager navigation controls

When a selection is applied, you can navigate between members in the list using the navigation controls. Depending on the Pager configuration, they may appear after the dropdown menu or in a floating panel, as shown below.

Clicking the "previous" icon contents/assets/images/arrow-expander-left-16.png or the "next" icon contents/assets/images/arrow-expander-right-16.pngwill immediately update the current selection and the data displayed by all other Objects on the Screen.

How to reset a selection on a Pager

To reset the selection to the default state, click the reset selection icon contents/assets/images/refresh.png. Depending on the Pager configuration, the reset selection icon may not be available.
