Name
Name of the widget used in the screen scope.
Optional
Although optional, only named widgets are available in the scope of the web screen or web block. Only then can you use their runtime properties and select them using the widget selector.
Title
Expression that is evaluated at runtime and displayed when the end-user hovers the mouse over the link.
For the Link title to be constant, set the expression
to have only literal
values.
Optional
Parent Edit Record
Allows you to bind the Link widget to a specific Edit Record widget.
You can select the Edit Record from a drop-down list of the Edit Record widgets currently placed in the screen or screen block.
If this property is set to, for example, EditRecord1, when the link is clicked, the Mandatory and Data Type validations are only applied to the input widgets that also have EditRecord1 as their Parent Edit Record.
If this property is left empty, when the link is clicked, the Mandatory and Data Type validations are applied to all input widgets in the screen.
Optional
When the widget is implicitly created by dragging an attribute or entity into an Edit Record, this property will be set by default to <entity_name>_<attribute_name>, for example Customer_Address.
In any other case it's empty by default.
Specifying this property will place the Link widget inside
the Edit Record widget, in the screen's Scope
Tree.
Style
Drop-down list with the styles that can be applied to the link.
Optional
Learn more about style sheets.
Double-click on the property and the Style
Sheet Editor is opened with the current style already selected.
Visible
When false means that the widget is not presented to the end-user.
You can directly type the values true or false, select a variable that handles this (if the variable is not of type Boolean, an error message is presented and the eSpace is not valid), or use the Expression editor.
Mandatory
True
When this property is false, the HTML page, generated at runtime, does not include the HTML tag that corresponds to this widget.
Enabled
Allows you to specify whether the end-user can interact with the eSpace through this widget. When this property is set to false, the button is presented but nothing happens when the end-user presses it.
You can directly type the values true or false, select a variable that handles this (if the variable is not of type Boolean, an error message is presented and the eSpace is not valid), or use the Expression editor.
Mandatory
True
If this property is false, the disabled attribute is added to the <a> HTML tag that corresponds to this widget. Learn more about how widgets are translated into HTML tags.

On Click - Grouped properties in the context of clicking with the pointing device over the widget.
Validation
Boolean value that indicates whether you want to validate the typed values. The validation provided by Service Studio for the input widgets are regarding the data type and optionality. The possible values are: (none) means that no validation is performed; Server means that input values are validated in the server side, after submitting the request; Client & Server & Server means that inputs are validated in the browser side and are only submitted to the server if the request is valid.
Mandatory
Server
The Parent Edit Record property defines which inputs are used in the validation.
For more information, see Validate End-User Typed Values.
When this property is set to (none), you should set the Method property to the value Submit or Ajax. Otherwise, it is not possible to validate the inputs and a warning message is provided.
Confirmation Message
Message displayed to confirm that you really want to go to the On Click Destination (either screen or action).
This property is evaluated during the rendering of the
web screen, which means that values provided by the end-user were not
submitted when this expression was evaluated.
Optional
If the end-user does not confirm the operation, the action is not executed and neither are the flow changes to the screen. The web screen remains the same.
Method
Indicates whether the inputs entered by the end-user are to be submitted or not. The possible values are:
Submit: the inputs are submitted. Uses the POST HTTP method.
Navigate: the inputs are ignored. Uses the GET HTTP method.
Ajax: all the inputs you use in the Destination logic are asynchronously submitted (using Ajax techniques) while keeping the state of the web screen.
Mandatory
