Overview

Functional panels are task-oriented sections that provide specialized business functionality inside a form.

Unlike an ordinary panel that simply displays or edits fields, a functional panel can:

  • Retrieve information from several related sources.
  • Apply business logic and filters.
  • Help the user select appropriate records or products.
  • Perform calculations, availability checks, or supply analysis.
  • Transfer selected information into the document being edited.

In short, they behave more like embedded working tools than regular data sections.

There are several functional panels so far:

Product supply — helps review information relevant to supplying a product. Customer products — presents products relevant to the selected customer. Available products — helps find products according to availability. Product list — provides a task-focused product selection list.

For example, while entering a sales document, an Available products panel can help the operator find suitable items without leaving the document, opening a separate navigator, checking availability manually, and then returning.
