Configure a control as a navigation link in Jitterbit App Builder

A control can be configured with a Link To Page target, turning its value into a link: selecting it navigates the user to another page in the application, automatically bound to the record the control points to. This works on most control types, including Text, Image, and List controls.

Note

A Button control has its own Link to Page option, set while configuring its click behavior, instead of through the steps on this page.

For an example walkthrough that links a chart to a page with automatic binding, see Add chart drill-down in Appendix C of the Introduction to App Builder tutorial series.

Follow these steps to turn any supported control into a link to a given page.

  1. Navigate to the control, using either the Live Designer or the App Workbench:

    • From the app preview, open the page containing the control and select Action Drawer > Live Designer.

    • From the App Workbench, open the Pages tab, then in the Pages panel, locate the page containing the control and either double-click its row or click the Open record icon. In the Page Panel Layout panel, find the panel that houses the control and click Controls.

  2. If you're in the Live Designer, click the control in the page view; this will populate the Live Designer with edit options for that control. If you're in the App Workbench, in the Controls panel, find the control and either double-click its row or click the Open record icon at the end of its row; App Builder opens a dialog similar to the Live Designer's.

  3. Click the Edge Case tab.

  4. Open the Rare Navigation Settings section:

  5. In the Link To Page field, select the target page.

  6. Click the binding icon to confirm App Builder bound the two pages on the correct column. Adjust the Source Column if it didn't bind the way you expect.

  7. Click Save.

Refresh the application view to confirm the update. The control's value now behaves like a link: clicking it takes the user to the selected page, filtered to that record.

To link each record in a List, Icon, or Button control to a different target page depending on its data, rather than a single fixed page, see Dynamic page linking instead.
