Form Designer: Advanced Form Launcher - Properties

You use Advanced Form Launcher (Multi Reference) controls in the same way as Basic Form Launcher (Reference) controls. The difference is that can use multi–relations. That is, with one button, you can open more than one form at the same time.

The Advanced Form Launcher generates two buttons: the Reference button and the Projection button. If the user presses the Reference Button, the form of all the related tables is opened, with a filter set to the current record.

Note:

There is a difference between Reference and Projection: The Reference Button shows related features of the current record. The Projection Button shows the related features of all records that are in the current filter.
