How It Works

The project's import package contains a Javascript method - labs_CallDateDialog. This method calls a datepicker dialog and then executes a custom callback function with the selected date as a parameter. The callback function in this sample code simply displays the date parameter in a browser alert, but the same approach could be used to perform some other business logic with the selected date.

Installation

Important!

Always back up your code tree and database before applying an import package or code tree patch!

Pre-requisites

1. Aras Innovator installed (see "Supported Aras Versions" above)
2. Aras Package Import tool
3. CallDateDialog import package

Install Steps

1. Backup your database and store the BAK file in a safe place.
2. Open up the Aras Package Import tool.
3. Enter your login credentials and click Login.
   • Note: You must login as root for the package import to succeed!
4. Enter the package name in the TargetRelease field.
   • Optional: Enter a description in the Description field.
5. Enter the path to your local ..\CallDateDialog\Import\imports.mf file in the Manifest File field.
6. Select CallDateDialog in the Available for Import field.
7. Select Type = Merge and Mode = Thorough Mode.
8. Click Import in the top left corner.
9. Close the Aras Package Import tool.

You are now ready to login to Aras and try out the Call Date Dialog action.

Usage

1. Log in to Aras as admin.
2. From the User menu (upper right corner), select Actions > Call Date Dialog.
   • In v11, use the Actions menu to choose the Call Date Dialog Action.
3. When the datepicker dialog appears, choose a date.

The dialog will be dismissed and a browser alert dialog will appear, displaying the selected date value.
