IView Navigation Help

Question

Hi Experts,
How can I navigate from a Nested iView to another Nested iView one level up?
My application is such that the Parent iView contains multiple Nested iViews, which individually contain the logic to Book Holidays, Display Holidays, and Modify Holidays etc. After creating a holiday request, I want the application to jump to the Display Holidays iView, where the new request can be seen on a graph. The problem is the iView I want to navigate to is one level above where the Create logic is so I can't map an event from the Create Form's submission to the Display iView.
I've tried using the 'Navigate' components under connectors (which sounds perfect) but this is an unsupported component and doesn't work (on our setup).
For clarity, the application's structure can be visualised as:
Holiday Application (Parent iView)
...1. Display Holidays (Nested iView)
...2. Create Holidays (Nested iView)
........2.1 Submit Form (event)
...3. Modify Holidays (Nested iView)
........3.1 Submit Form (event)
After submitting the form I want to jump to the Display Holidays nested iView.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Andrew

hi,
First let me confirm if i understood your problem correctly.
You have 3 nested iviews display holidays, Create holidays, and modify holidays.
From display holidays you are navigating to create holidays and modify holidays.
once you navigate to create holidays or modify holidays and after creating or modifying the holidays you will press a button on the form, once you press this button you want to go back to the display holidays.
what are the other things that you have in the layers along with the nested iviews. If you dont have anything other than nested iviews use the following steps.
1. Remove the layers and keep only the nested iviews.
2. create a data store to store the value for the action in display holidays. for eg: when you click on create holidays store 'Create' and when you click on modify holidays store 'modify'. now use the outport and assign the value stored in the data store.
3. Create a similar data store in create holidays and display holidays and assign the values 'displayholidays' to both these actions.
4. Create a data store in the main screen that is in the level where you have all the nested iviews and connect all the outports to this datastore and assign the corresponding values coming from the nested iviews.
5. set the visibility condition on all the nested iviews. eg: visibility condition for display holidays will be true when the store@maindatastore=='displayholidays' and visibility condition for create will be true when store@maindatastore=='create'.
by doing this you will see only that screen which will satisfy the condition.
let me know if this solves your problem.
