Go to Object script step

Format


Go to Object [Object Name: "<object name>"; 
Repetition: <repetition number>]

Options

Click Specify to display the "Go to Object" Options dialog box, where you can set the following options:

Object Name is the named object to make active on the current layout. To assign an object name, choose View menu > Object Info in Layout mode and enter a name.

Repetition (optional) lets you choose a field's repetition to go to. Otherwise defaults to 1. This option is ignored if the object is not a field.

Web compatibility

This script step is web-compatible.

Description

Moves to the specified object on the current layout. This script step uses an object name to identify an object, so you must assign a unique object name to each object on a layout that you want to go to.

Note If the object is a repeating field, you can also specify which repetition that you want to go to.

Examples

The following example navigates to a text field named "First name":


Go to Object [Object Name: "First Name"]

The following example navigates to a button named "Launch button":


Go to Object [Object Name: "Launch button"]

The following example navigates to the repetition (2) of a field named "Value":


Go to Object [Object Name: "Value"; Repetition: 2]

The following example navigates to an object whose name is the current day of the week:
