Resetting a form

You can redisplay a form page, resetting the form values to their initial values. Use the pageName_Initialize method added to the WebApp by the Data Page builder call. The Data Page builder call adds this method when you use a Data Field Modifier builder call to set an initial value for one or more fields in the form.

To initialize a form, perform the following steps.

1. Add a Data Field Modifier builder call to your model for each of the fields for which you want to set an initial value.

2. In each Data Field Modifier call, set the Initial Value input.

3. In the model action or Java code that reloads the form page, add a call to the pageName_Initialize method. For example, the following code could be used to re-initialize the form when a user clicks on a Reset button on the form.

   public void resetForm(WebAppAccess webAppAccess) { webAppAccess.callMethod("myFormPage_Initialize"); webAppAccess.processPage("myFormPage");
   }
