Black Approve Button

[yeveve]

Hi!

The green "Approve" button only shows black. When I check it from the studio, there is an error wherein it says "Invalid argument type (Record). Expecting a Text value instead." Below are the codes. I'm really not sure if that is the one causing the color of the "Approve Button"

Hi @yeveve

If you select the button, go to the Advanced section in the properties pane and view the 'Fill' property, can you tell us what that says? That's the property that controls the back color.

Also, where did you specify the code that you posted? Did you set that against the OnSelect property?

Hi timl!

Thank you very much for replying back. Below is the formula for the Fill under Advanced.

If(ReqGallery.Selected.Request_Status="Submitted", RGBA(54, 176, 75, 1),ReqGallery.Selected.Request_Status="FinalApproval", RGBA(54, 176, 75, 1), ReqGallery.Selected.Request_Status="Processing",RGBA(56, 86, 153, 1))

For the second question, yes, that is under the OnSelect property. Please see screenshot.

Thanks!

Hi!

This is the code that has a red underline. I'm not sure what is wrong with this. It says "The function 'Run' has some invalid arguments.'

REQCKJEmail.Run(
ManagerEmailVar,
"For initial approval: " & Label14.Text & " from " & First(ReqGallery.Selected.GrpDetail).Author.DisplayName,
"New requisition was submitted for your approval. <p><p> REQUEST DETAILS: <p> Request Number: <b>" & Label14.Text & "</b><p> Requsition Title: <b>" & Label14_2.Text & "</b><p> Requestor: <b>" & First(ReqGallery.Selected.GrpDetail).Author.DisplayName & "</b><p> Date Needed: <b>" & Label15.Text & "</b><p> Total Estimated Price: <b>" & TotalEstimatedPrice.Text,
"",
First(ReqGallery.Selected.GrpDetail).Author.Email,
"Manager Approved: " & Label14.Text,
Label14.Text & " has been initially approved on " & First(ReqGallery.Selected.GrpDetail).Reviewed_Date & " and is now forwarded to Procurement Head for next approval."
),

Thanks!

Hi @yeveve

I think the reason the button appears black is because the request status of the selected item in you ReqGallery doesn't meet the conditions Submitted, FinalApproval, or Processing. You can set the button to green in this scenario using the following formula:

If(ReqGallery.Selected.Request_Status="Submitted",
   RGBA(54, 176, 75, 1),
   ReqGallery.Selected.Request_Status="FinalApproval",
   RGBA(54, 176, 75, 1),
   ReqGallery.Selected.Request_Status="Processing",
   RGBA(56, 86, 153, 1),
   Green
)

Hi!

Thank you very much. I'm in the process of testing this. I would just like to ask another question. With the formula below for "text" from this approve button, should it show "Approve" or "Mark as complete"? I haven't tested it yet because I'm afraid that I might mess up the approval routing (I'm really new to this and project was just handed to me because the one who was working with this left already)

Upper(If(MgPost.Text="Approver" && ReqGallery.Selected.Request_Status="Submitted", "Approve", MgPost.Text="FinalApprover" && ReqGallery.Selected.Request_Status="FinalApproval", "Approve", MgPost.Text="ProcStaff" && ReqGallery.Selected.Request_Status="Processing", "Mark as Complete"))

Thanks!
