Creating a New Window (Simple Approach)

Here are more quicker steps in Creating a New Window which may be useful for the adempiere beginner and to those who are inexperienced with database scripts or programing languages. For a more elaborate detailing including extending the Window functionality, please refer to NewWindow.

1.Access into Adempiere as System Administrator

2.Open Module "Table and Column"

• Create new table
• Create new column
• Synchronize table with database

Make sure all mandatory fields also included in that table (ad_client_id, ad_org_id, created, createdby, updated, updatedby, isactive)

  ad_client_id numeric(10) NOT NULL,
  ad_org_id numeric(10) NOT NULL,
  isactive character(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'Y'::bpchar,
  created timestamp without time zone NOT NULL DEFAULT now(),
  createdby numeric(10) NOT NULL,
  updated timestamp without time zone NOT NULL DEFAULT now(),
  updatedby numeric(10) NOT NULL

These mandatory fields are not created automatically when synchronizing table with database.
