Creating and saving forms
514 InfoMaker
For example, the following form lists all customers at the top (the master area)
and the details for the selected customer at the bottom (the detail area):
Both the master and detail areas use the
Customer table in the EAS Demo DB.
The
Company_name and Id columns were chosen for the master table, and all
columns were chosen for the detail table.
About the Id column
Since the Id column is the primary key, you must select the Id column to make
the detail part for the form updatable, but you can delete it from the detail part.
Creating and saving forms
The first step in designing a form is to create a basic form. The procedure is
similar for most forms whether you are using a built-in style or a custom form
style developed in your organization using PowerBuilder.
Creating basic forms
A basic form is like a draft that you refine until you have exactly what you
want. After you create the basic form, you enhance the form to make data entry
fast and to present the data usefully.
