Static Item - List Item

The Static List Item in the ComUnity Toolkit is a component used to add a single, predefined list item to a Form screen. Unlike Single List Items or Entity Items, static list items do not retrieve data from the Data Service but are configured with static values. Each item can be customised with optional properties such as a title, icon, details, and an Action URL, based on the developer’s specific requirements.

The Action URL is an optional property that enables navigation to a different Form screen. However, it is not mandatory; developers may choose to omit the Action URL if the static list item is intended to display information or perform a non-interactive function.

Static List Items are ideal for displaying fixed options or actions that remain consistent and do not require dynamic data, making them well-suited for use cases such as linking to predefined screens or providing consistent navigation options.

Properties of Static List Item

Action URL

The navigate path to be used when the list item is selected.The Action URL is an optional property of Static List Items in the ComUnity Toolkit. It defines the navigation path for these items, allowing users to be directed to specific screens within the application when a static list item is selected. Key Features

• Navigation to System Screens: The Action URL can be used to navigate directly to system screens using absolute paths, such as /Register or /ChangePassword

• Navigation to Form Screens: For custom and Additional Form screens LINKs are used (e.g., LINK:BusinessOwnerEventsRespondPage?eventId={{= eventId }}). This allows for dynamic navigation by passing context-specific data, such as entity IDs. The same rules that apply when defining Target URLs for lists in Navigation screens are also used when defining Action URLs. The syntax for the Action URL can have 0 to N parameters passed to the LINK,

  as shown below: 
  LINK:<link id>
  LINK:<link id>?<key=value>
  LINK:<link id>?<key=value>&<key=value>
  
  // An  example of a Target URL
  LINK:FaultAddPage?faultType={{= FaultTypeId }}

• Optional Property: The Action URL is not mandatory. If the static list item is intended to serve an informational purpose without any navigational function, the Action URL can be omitted.
