How to add another section of a form in a different tab in Aras

Hi community,

I am new to Aras, and I am exploring different features of the tool,  as an administrator. I am writing this post to seek help in implementing a UI change. I want to add different forms in different tabs in the itemview.

The number of properties for an itemtype is too big, so I want to break the form into multiple sections, create a form view for each section, and add the different section views in different tabs in the first accordian in the itemview. I want to do it this way also to have an easy representation of which tabs will be available to view or edit for different item classifications and users.

I was able to follow this blog post: item-views-with-cui to add tabs to the first accordian, but adding any "Form control" in the Window section only displays the default form in both tabs. I'm also not sure what to add in the "Additional Data" field here.

I don't know if my approach is correct. Please do let me know if there is a better way to do it.

I fabricated an image to better explain my question:

All replies are apprecieated.

Thanks,

  • Hello, Prasanth,

    You can achieve what you want by creating a Relationship Type with the name of the tab you want to have, attach it to your ItemType and attach the form you want to visualize in the Relationship View tab in the Relationship Type:

  • The only issue with this approach is that it makes searching a bit clunky. You have to go to Advance searches and switch to the relationship where you want to search. I don't know of a better way though. 

    Another thing to look into, if your properties are not applicable in all cases, you can show only what's relevant with the use of Extended Classification.
