72 Plan and Create the Production Form
ID Works Standard and Enterprise Version 5 Administrator’s Guide
your project is not connected to a database, you are asked if you
want to create a database from the Production Form. Selecting Yes is
the same as selecting Create Database from Production Form
from the Tools menu. See “Creating a Database from ID Works
Designer” on page 102.
After the Production Form is created, you can add static text, static
graphics, or a background color or graphic; rearrange the fields; edit
fields; or add new fields. In other words, you can change the
Production Form as though you created it “from scratch”.
Adding Fields to a Production Form Created from a
Card Design
Developing an ID Works project often involves several iterations. You
may decide to add a field to the card design after you create the
Production Form. If your project includes multiple card designs, you
may have additional fields, on additional card designs, that you want
to include on your Production Form. The Add Fields to Production
Form command on the Tools menu lets you add card fields to an
existing Production Form quickly and easily. See the online help topic
“Add fields to a Production Form from a card design” for step-by-step
instructions.
Deleting a field on the card does not delete the corresponding
Production Form field.
