always show specific form on login

usr338

Hi, is it possible to show a specific form on very login to system(not last seen form)?
actually i need to initialize some variables and other tables on application start for each login.
I didn't find any place to do that so i thought that i can do that in form load of start up form.

Hi @usr338,
you could direct to a specific start form which does directly redirect via frontend function.

Well this is not a smart way, but it should address your need.

You can have varied start forms, based on assigned roles in the app configration as well.

If you need different forms for each user, not directly dependent on their roles, as @lsw-fabian said, you would execute a frontend-function on the start form, getting the desired target form (probably from a relation on the backend) and then redirect the user with app.form_open().

But start form will be start for the first time application run. if user change the working form and exit the application , he/she will be redirect to last working form in next login. isn't it ?
I need to user start specific form (not last working form) on each login. otherwise i should to put my logic for initialing variables in every form (or redirect to my desired form)

r3 does not record the last used form. If you open r3, it will show you the home page. If you then click on an application, it will direct the user the start form (either the default start form, or one based on the user role).

A user can always open a specific form though, if they use the corresponding URL.

For the next feature release, we are also looking at offering functions to be started when a user opens r3, so for your purposes it would not matter, which form is opened. For our own apps, we receive all user specific data via collections - so far we had no need to otherwise initialize data for specific users.
