Pushing the Post Button

A Button In The Know
It's all about context
Goto buttons display associated records

Tip #: 4.4.101
Ver(s): PTWin32, V2

In PTWin32, some buttons are smarter than others. Just how smart a button can be depends on what you are doing when you press it. Of course there really is no such thing as a “smart” button. What’s going on involves assumptions made because of where the button is located in PTWin32.

For example, PTWin32’s Main Toolbar contains a Parcel button that shows the Parcel window. Pressing this button opens the Parcel window to the first parcel record in the file. This is because the button is on PTWin32’s desktop, & the act of pressing it does not convey any information about the specific parcel record you are looking for.

On the other hand the Goto Parcel button on the Parcel tab of the Permit window knows which parcel is attached to the current Permit record. PTWin32 uses this information to open the Parcel window to the very record associated with your Permit.

There are “Goto” buttons for Time Tracking, Parcel, Contractor, Fees & Receipts, Plan Review Reasons, and Inspections in the Parcel window alone. Look for “Goto” buttons across all of PTWin32 and use them as your preferred method for opening windows of related data.
