Navigating between apps

[gwilburn]

My OE app opens a Customers app. We have a back button defined in the customers app that has two actions
1. Fire Event "back"
2. Utility Close App

The "back" local event
1. Sets the App Bar title to the previous title
2. Shows the previous section
3. Calls an RPG program to remove a "lock" on the customer record

This all works great.

I added a button to delete the customer in the summary section of Customers app (so it's not in the main section). Upon success, I would like to close the app and return to the OE App. So I added:
1. Fire Event "back"
2. Utility Close App

The app is not closing... instead, it is displaying the main section of the app.

What am I missing?

Thanks!

Is the "Utility > Close App" conditioned by a "feature"?

Is the "Utility > Close App" conditioned by a "feature"?

Yes. I conditioned it the same way the back button was conditioned (feature "isSubapp"). I'm assuming this is true only when the Customers app is opened by the OE app.
Looking in the tools, i see "nabfeatureisSubapp" true.

I changed the button action to simply close the app. It appears the Close App utility only functions when the app is opened standalone.

I'm really confused. I think I have two app-level "back" buttons that appear in the same place. If the Customers app is opened from another app, I believe the user is seeing the app-level "back" button from the OE app. This fires a public event called "userReqestedBack".

I'm just not sure how to sort this out so that the buttons function no matter how the Customers app is opened.
