Is there a way to prevent the "navigate away" warning?

Post by Bryan641 »

Can we suppress the "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page" warning and just always allow it? What are the implications of doing so?

The following line JavaScript code will suppress the warning:

pui.confirmOnClose = false;

After you do this, when the user closes the browser or navigates away from the the page, a signal will be sent to the server to just end the job.

I tried that several places, and when it didn't work, I searched runtime.js and ended up trying

Code: Select all

pui.skipConfirm=true; 
This worked.

(Note, I would like to allow users to navigate away from the application at will. Are there any negatives associated with allowing this?)

Once the user navigates away from the page, the session is lost and the Profound UI session controller ends all jobs associated with that session.

It is a little like closing Client access without first signing off.

Bryan, you are correct. pui.skipConfirm=true is the right way to do it.
