  • NAB Drag and Drop

    We have a lot of green screen applications that process a text/csv files. Many of the parameters used by the RPG program are stored in database table.
    Currently, the user
    1. Places the file(s) on the IFS in a specific directory
    2. Navigates to green screen menu option
    3. Enters the customer number and presses <F5>

    I'd like to replace this with a NAB app that allows the use to select the customer from a drop-down list or a grid, then drag-and-drop the file onto the screen.

    I've seen the diaries episode where you can prompt the user to upload the file... just wondering if drag-n-drop was an option in NAB.

    If so... what widget(s) do you recommend for use in the app? I will likely use this same type of application structure for quite a few different processes.

    NAB doesn't have a way for drag/drop file uploads however you could write your own html/js etc that you would load in a URL widget which could allow for the drop of a file and upload it.

    Just remember when linking your URL widget for example on a grid row click you want to check the Apply Portal Security checkbox so you have access to the session id etc.

    Thanks
