Open ipad view controllers via Agentry openui

[Former Member]

Hi,

is it possible to open view controllers (as popover or modal presentation) from within agentry?

I can open self designed external apps via the URL function, but it would be handy to open them from within the app itself.

We want to create a simple drawing functionality with native iOS code when user clicks a button.

In this way we can add attachments (jpeg or pdf) within agentry and attach it directly to the workorder.

Thanks in advance

Yes this would be possible using the Open UI SDK to create an extension to a control within the Agentry client.  Your button would probably open a standard Agentry form which displays your custom control extended from one of the base Agentry types to allow the user to "draw" whatever you want.

Thanks, so i add a new screen set, detail view and fill it with a 'container' field.

Which field type should this be?

The field type will typically depend on what type of data you are working with.  I would guess an External Data field would be good.  IT can really be anything.  Since you are creating a new drawing you could just use a String field as well.
