The elements which make up a Screen are: Data Elements,
labels or Screen calls. To insert any of these, and to specific their
display characteristics in the Screen layout, you must open the -CE
Lines tab of a Screen.
About this task
To define the Screen elements, you must perform the following
steps:
- Open the-CE Lines tab of a Screen.
To do so, select a Screen in the Design explorer view
of the Design perspective and double-click on
it or select Open in the popup menu. Then access
its -CE Lines tab from the Overview tab
or directly by clicking the -CE Lines tab.
- Add a category if necessary, in the tree located on the
left-hand side of the tab. When it is created, a Screen only contains
the top category. This top category line is not displayed in the tree
by default but if you do not specify any other category, all the Screen
elements will be inserted in this category. So if you need to add
a repetitive or a bottom category, click the Add a category button
and fill in the fields of the Category definition section
which opens up on the right-hand side of the tab.
- Place your cursor in the adequate category in the tree,
on the line after which you want to insert a new element.
- You can then add a:
- Data Element. To do so, click the Add Data
Element button and fill in the fields of the Field
definition section which opens up. Once a field has been
inserted, you can specify additional controls on this field (presence
check, validation conditions, update option...). To do so, select
a field (a Data Element) already inserted in the tree and click the Add
additional controls for the field. Then you must fill
in the fields of the Additional controls for the field section
which opens up.
- Label. To do so, click the Add Label button
and fill in the fields of the Label definition section
which opens up.
- Screen call. To do so, click the Add Screen
element button and fill in the fields of the Screen
call definition section which opens up.
