Ability to change the form mode

Use the PERFORM-ACTION-CHANGE-MODE (see Using Run Process and $PROCESS$ commands) run process command in a workflow to change the current mode of displayed form without refreshing the browser window.

For example, assume that by default, a form opens in the New mode to allow a user to create new entries. In some cases, the user might need to search for existing entries. In such cases, the user can define an active link using the PERFORM-ACTION-CHANGE-MODE command to change the mode. This way, the user avoids closing the browser windows or going back to select a different option. For information about how to define a run process active link, see Creating a Run Process action.
