Introduction

If the user wants to modify the data from the attributes of the main entity or the one-to-one relationship entity, then you have to put controls on the form to modify that information.

Detailed Steps
Step 1. Open the panel properties.

Open the panel’s Properties tab on the Left Panel. This enables you to edit custom properties for the panel.

Maintenance forms don’t usually keep the default panel name. You should change the ID and enter a caption.

The caption shows up in the title bar right away.

Step 3. If desired, edit the table.

 

Step 4. If desired, add a TabContainer to the panel.

A TabContainer is a collection of multiple panels (tabsheets) where you can put controls on each panel. Only one tabsheet is visible at a time.   

Once you have one tab in the panel, you can use the + icon to add more tabs. This example uses three tabs.

Step 6. Update the tab properties.

Maintenance forms don’t usually keep the default tab name. You should change the ID and enter Header Text.

Step 7. If desired, edit the table.

Change the dimensions of the table if you know you will be adding more or fewer controls than the default table can attractively display.

Step 8. Add field controls to a container control.

Open the entity attribute that contains the desired columns. Select all that are the same control type and click the control type in the entity attributes.

Step 10. If desired, update the control properties.

The properties change appearance or behavior.

 

Step 11. If desired, move the controls.

You should organize the controls for ease of use.

Step 12. Configure any additional containers.

 

Step 13. Save the form.

The application now displays the maintenance form with the configured controls. The user can enter data into the controls and save the record.
