Hi Team,
We are not able to find the Previous buttons in Agentry Loop Over collection Transaction screens in Work Manager 6.2. But in the Wizard buttons I can see it is enabled.
See attachment.
But it is not displayed in iPad or even in windows client.
Experts please help me to find out what I am missing to enable the previous button.
Help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Bala

Hi Bala,
I don't think you need to do anything extra to achieve this.
Please help me to know the following things.
SMP server version, Agentry client version and Editor version.
Which platform you have used for the above screen in the Agentry code.
Note :- Previous button will not appear for the 1st record, it appears for the second record onwards.
Thanks,
Sudhir.
Bala,
As far as I know, transaction Wizards as the name implies is for Transactions. You can have next or previous provided you are in the same transaction context and have multiple screens under your screenset that you defined for your transaction.
There is a misconception on next and previous when it comes to "Actions" and the multiple steps.
Example: Action 1.
Action 1:
Step 1 - Transaction Screenset (screen 1, screen 2, screen 3)
Step 2 - Apply
Step 3 - SubAction (points to another screen)
Step 4 - Apply
This is a transaction wizard next and previous buttons. In step 1, within the multiple transaction screen inside the same screenset you will have next and previous.
In Step 3 where you are inside another screen you cannot have a previous button that goes back to Step 1 as it is already been applied.
So in theory, the previous screen only works inside a transaction and not across multiple steps as described above. Hence it is called Transaction Wizard and not Action Wizard.
In your picture above you have looping that runs on all displayed items and to run 1 action RecordPointWrapper. From my definition above it will not know how to go back to your previously saved (applied) action.
There is a different button < and > that goes down the looping on the displayed list. There is something about apply that you cannot unapply it.
Hope this helps clear the definition.

Hi Mark,
I completely agree with you the concept you explained above. I can't unapply a transaction which has already been applied.
But the above screen shot shared by me has a previous button, here I am also using the same loop over displayed items as Bala. I am curious to know why there is a difference in the behaviour for the same action.
I look forward to your valuable advices to help me to understand this concept.
Thanks,
Sudhir.
Bala and Sudhir,
A colleague of mine notified me that there was a new feature created by the Agentry platform team to support the discussion I specified above wherein once you have applied you cannot go back. Note that this is a new feature.
The Work Manager team used this new Editor function (SMP 3.0 SDK SP09) and created an SAP note # 2212312 - SAP Rounds Manager and SAP Work Manager - Unable to Activate the Back Button to help resolve this problem (you will need to remove the Apply) - read article.
Hope this helps,

Hi Balamurugan,
If Transaction Screen set has only one screen then it will have only two buttons -
1. Finish
2. Cancel
You can change the text of these buttons going to Wizard Buttons options(your first screenshot).
If you just want to change the text of your Cancel button to 'Previous', do the setting as per the below screen shot -
But it will only change the text of the button and not the functionality.
If your Transaction screen set has more than one screen, then only you will have Next and Back buttons to navigate between the screens. You may see Next and Back buttons enabled in Wizard Buttons but they will not be there on the screens until and unless your Transaction screen set has more than one screen.
Thanks and Regards,
Sujit

Hi Sujit,
Thank you for your response. Yes, Cancel button will cancel the whole loop. What I need is a Previous/back button to navigate back to the previous item in the loop. I can navigate to next item in the loop using the next button but not the previous item since there is no previous button. See my iPad screen for the reference.
Your help is much appreciated.
