Backlink
When ForeignKey or ForeignKeys column is used in Record A to reference Record B, how to find out A is referencing B when viewing the details of B? Or, if Sample A has a column "location" and refers to Location B, how to find out a list of samples sits in Location B?
This is exactly what Backlink is designed for.
Configure backlink
3 Fields need to be defined for Backlink.
- Table, the table of the record you want to display.
- Column, which ForeignKey or ForeignKeys column referenced to this record. When the table changes, the column options changes automatically.
- Fields, other fields to display. On default, the name of the record will be displayed.
Edit view of widget Backlink
View records
A list of records is displayed, the name and the selected fields are included. The items display in the backlink is similar to the list view, except only selected fields are displayed.
Similar to the list view, you can edit/code a field directly inside the backlink widget.
Create a new record
Click "New xxx" to add a new record that will be linked to the current record directly. The form is exactly identical to Add Record.
Duplicate a record
Click "Duplicate icon" next to a record to duplicate a record. This function is extremely helpful to create similar records.
Import records
As promised, Labii has added this feature to enable you to add linked records in batch. Click "Import xxx" to start importing.
Please note, all imported records will be assigned with the current record directly.
