Scope Property

  • Article

Specifies the scope of the action to be either page-specific, or specific to a repeater control. The Scope property has two options; Page and Repeater.

The Scope property is only used on pages that include a repeater control and it offers a way to determine the scope of an action to be the page or to be specific to the repeater control. The default behavior of the Scope property is Page.

The Scope property has the following effect:

  • On a Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client, the Scope property has no effect. All actions are shown in the ribbon.

  • On a Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client, if the Scope property is set to Page, the action will be shown in the ribbon. If the Scope property is set to Repeater the action will be shown in both the repeater control and in the ribbon.

  • On a Microsoft Dynamics NAV Tablet client, if the Scope property is set to Page, the action will be shown in the page action menu. If the Scope property is set to Repeater, the action is moved from the page action menu to the repeater control shortcut menu.

  • On a Microsoft Dynamics NAV Phone client, if the Scope property is set to Page, the action will be shown in the page action menu. If the Scope property is set to Repeater, there are two scenarios:

    • If the list is associated with a card page, the developer must make sure to add the action functionality to this card page.

    • If the list is not associated with a card page, and the user taps a row in the list to view details, the action is available on the details page.
