Hide Listing And Continue Execution

Audience: Low-code Engineers

Skill Prerequisites: Actions, Listings

Hides a Listing module on the page, then carries on with the next actions. Use it from a form or a listing to close a listing that you opened with Show Listing And Stop Execution or Show Listing And Continue Execution.

It only works on listings with Display Mode set to In Popup or Manual. A popup listing is closed. A manual listing is hidden.

Action	What happens after the listing is hidden
Hide Listing And Stop Execution	No further actions run.
Hide Listing And Continue Execution	The listing is hidden right away and the next actions keep running.

Typical Use Cases

• Hide one listing and show another, for example to switch between two views of the data
• Close a listing popup, then save or process the form
• Hide old search results before a new search runs

Don't use it to

• Hide a listing and stop. Use Hide Listing And Stop Execution instead.
• Hide a listing that is always visible. Set its Display Mode to Manual, or use its Show Conditionally setting instead.
• Hide a listing from an API endpoint. It's not available there.

Related Actions

Action Name	Description
Hide Listing And Stop Execution	Hides the listing the same way, then ends execution.
Show Listing And Continue Execution	Shows or opens the listing and keeps running actions.
Show Listing And Stop Execution	Shows or opens the listing and ends execution.

Input Parameter Reference

Parameter	Description	Supports Tokens	Default	Required
Select Module	The Listing module to hide. Pick it from the list, or use a token or expression that gives the module ID or its GUID.	Yes	empty	Yes

How it works

The action sends a small script to the browser as soon as it runs. Meanwhile, the server keeps running the next actions. The script checks the listing's Display Mode:

Display Mode	What happens
Initially Visible	Nothing. The listing stays on the page.
In Popup	The popup is closed.
Manual	The listing is hidden. It stays on the page and can be shown again.

See Display Mode.

Considerations

• It's sent right away. The listing is hidden while the next actions are still running. If a later action fails, the listing stays hidden.
• Same page only. The listing must be on the page the user is looking at. If it isn't, nothing is hidden and the browser console shows an error.
• The value must be a module. If Select Module isn't a number or a GUID, the action fails with Could not determine ModuleId to execute the action.
• Refresh shows it again. In the current listing views, Refresh Listing makes a hidden manual listing visible again. Don't refresh a listing right after you hide it.
• Not in APIs, workflows or scheduled tasks. The action runs JavaScript in the browser, so it's only available in forms and listings.
• From JavaScript. You can do the same with dnnsf.api.actionGrid.hideGridOrPopup(1234), where 1234 is the listing module ID.
• Conditions. To hide the listing only in some cases, give it a condition, for example "[View]" == "Summary". See Common Parameters.

Examples

tip

To understand how to use the below examples, please see Running Examples.

1. Switch from the details listing to the summary listing

Add these two actions to a "Show Summary" button. The first hides the Listing module 1234 and keeps going. The second shows the Listing module 5678. Both listings have Display Mode set to Manual.
