Shortcut parameters
This command uses the following shortcut parameters:

File Group |
The file group that the plan file belongs to. Click the folder icon to select a file group. You can select any file group or alias. If the current form is a file group utility, then an additional option is available: Use Current File Group. This option means that the command will always point to the file group where the file is currently located, even if you clone the file group or copy the file to a different file group. This option is located at the top of the Show file groups list. |

Plan File Value |
The plan code for the plan file that you want to open. For example, if the plan code table for the file group is Dept and you want to open the plan file for Dept 24000, then the plan file value is 24000.

Open in New Window |

|
Processing step |
Specifies when the command will be executed during the Axiom form update process. This option is set to Form - After Updating Values and cannot be changed. For more information, see Timing of command execution and Axiom form update process. If the target plan file is opened in the same window as the current document, then the form update process does not proceed beyond the After Updating Values step. If the target plan file is opened in a new window, the original form will continue and complete its update cycle. |
Visibility
In Axiom forms, the command used does not impact whether the button is visible or enabled.
