#02 Simple PopUp

On all Deltek info center pages you have – as an admin – the ability to add a help icon and insert text. If you put in html code in the HELP TEXT property as one line without any line breaks you can introduce a popup window that feeds data from somewhere else. Where I work we use it do provide a job number generator using asp.net and SQL Server. The user selects some defining criteria related to their job off of some dropdowns and a transactional stored procedure grabs and formats the next available number. From this point there is some simple javascript to copy to the clipboard via a button and then to the project name field in the project info center via a simple Control-V command.

Note: Our Job/Project Number generator was installed prior to going to 5.0 - I understand that some of this functionality is available now ‘out of the box’.

Sample code put in help text Deltek info center screen: (one line no breaks)
