Table 26. Navigation

Element	Description
Save Button Click Action	Determines what will happen when the user clicks the Save and Close button on the toolbar. These are the choices for this property: • GoToNextPageUrl — Go to the page specified in the Next Page URL property. You can use this option if you always want the user to go to the same URL every time they save the form. • GoToSource — Go to the page specified in the Source HTTP parameter. For this option to work, the URL of the current page must contain the Source HTTP parameter (http://...?Source=...). This option will give you the same behavior as the Microsoft List Form. If you open the form using qListView, the listview automatically sets the Source HTTP parameter for you. If you use this option and the Source HTTP is not in the URL, the list form will give you an error. • TrySourceThenNextPageUrl — Go to the page specified in the Source http parameter if one exists. If not, go to the page specified in the Next Page URL property. This option is the most commonly used one. Most of the time, you want to go the URL specified in the Source HTTP parameter. However, if that parameter is not available (for example, the user may type in the URL directly in the address bar), you want to have an alternative URL to go to.
Next Page URL	Works in conjunction with the Save Button Click Action property. When this property is set to GoToNextPageUrl or TrySourceThenNextPageUrl, allows you to set the page to go to when the user clicks the Save and Close button on the toolbar if the Save Button Click Action property is set to GoToNextPageUrl or TrySourceThenNextPageUrl. If this field is blank, you are redirected to the List's Web Address.
Cancel Button Click Action	Determines what will happen when the user clicks the Cancel button on the toolbar. • SameActionAsSaveAndClose — This is the default value. You may want to select another option if you want the Cancel button to behave differently than the Save and Close button. This option is useful if you want to guide the user through a series of steps when doing data entry. For example, when user is in Form1, clicking Save and Close will bring them to Form 2 while clicking Cancel button will bring them back to the home page. • GoToGoBackUrl — Go to the page specified in the Go Back URL property. You can use this option if you always want the user to go to the same URL every time they save the form. • GoToSource — Go to the page specified in the Source HTTP parameter. For this option to work, the URL of the current page must contain the Source HTTP parameter (http://...?Source=...). This option will give you the same behavior as the Microsoft List Form. If you open the form using qListView, the listview automatically sets the Source HTTP parameter for you. If you use this option and the Source HTTP is not in the URL, the list form gives you an error. • TrySourceThenGoBackUrl — Go to the page specified in the Source http parameter if one exists. If not, go to the page specified in the Go Back URL property. This option is the most commonly used one. Most of the time, you want to go the URL specified in the Source HTTP parameter. However, if that parameter is not available (for example, the user may type in the URL directly in the address bar), you want to have an alternative URL to go to.
Go Back URL	Allows you to set which page to go to after the user clicks the Cancel button on the toolbar if the Cancel Button Click Action property is set to GoToGoBackUrl or TrySourceThenGoBackUrl.
Show Edit Button	Allows you to display the Edit Item button when the Form Type is set to DisplayListItem or DisplayDocument.
Edit Form URL	Allows you to set the page to go to after the Edit Item button is clicked. If not defined, the user will redirected to the EditForm.aspx of the list. The Edit Item button will show up when the Form Type is set to Display Item or Display Document and the Show Edit Button property is set to true.
Show Version History Button	Allows you to display the Version History button.
Display Form URL	Displays the history of changes in the Multiple Lines of Text field when the Append Changes to Existing Text setting in the field is turned on. The user can click one of the texts in the history list to view that version of the text. This property define the URL of the Display Form to display previous version of the text. If this property is not defined, the default Display Form of the list is used.
