Creation of Quote with Selected Products

This example shows how to create a portlet which shows a list of products where the user can select several of them, and ask for a new quote to be created with those products.

ContextLinking _ Dashboards _ Pricefx.png

Dashboard portlet logic which renders the list of products and the action “New Quote”.

def products= api.find("P", 0, 20, null, ["sku", "label", "currency"])
def quoteTypes = api.find("QTT", 0, 10, "uniqueName")

def resultMatrix = api.newMatrix().withColumnFormats([
        "sku"  : FieldFormatType.TEXT,
        "label":FieldFormatType.TEXT,
        "currency": FieldFormatType.TEXT
]).withRows(products);

def options = [:]
quoteTypes.each { it -> options[(it.uniqueName)] = it.label ?: it.uniqueName }

resultMatrix.rowSelectionBackEndAction("productsDataSet")
        .withLogicName("BackEndActionLogic")
        .withColumns("sku")
        .withButtonLabel("New Quote")
        .withOptions("QuoteType", options)

return resultMatrix;
