How to Set the Default Action for Listings in Inistate

Hi Inistate community! :wave:

Goal:
To show users how to customize the default action for each listing, so that clicking on a record triggers the desired form (e.g., view, edit, or custom form).

Description:
In Inistate, each listing allows you to define a default action—this controls what happens when a user clicks on a record in the listing view. For example, you may want users to go straight to the View form instead of Edit, or trigger a custom form like a summary or approval screen.

You’ll need to enable Design Mode to access this setting.

Steps / Instructions:

  1. Enable Design Mode:
  • Navigate to the target module where the listing is located.
  • Click the wand icon (:magic_wand:) to enter Design Mode.
  1. Open the Listing Settings:
  1. Set the Default Action:
  • Look for the “Default Action” setting in the panel.

  • Choose your desired action:

    • View – Opens the record in view-only mode.
    • Edit – Opens the record in edit mode.
    • Custom Forms – If available, select any custom forms created.
      For example, click the custom form Inactive
  1. Test the Listing:

Tips / Notes:

  • Changing the default action only affects how users interact with the listing—it does not affect automation or permissions.
  • Make sure users have permission to access the selected form; otherwise, they may receive an error.
  • You can still offer additional actions through buttons or menus even if the default is set.
