Customizing forms with the Form Designer
Der Maskendesigner arbeitet wie eine Entwicklungsumgebung im Stil von Delphi – direkt in netERP.
Opening the Designer
Click the gear icon at the top right of a form or press F12. You need the permission to design forms for this.
Layout
The Designer is a window with dockable areas: Design, Palette (Standard, Data, Form, Email), Object Inspector, Object Tree (Umschalt+F11) and Database Fields. The arrangement can be saved, loaded and set by the administrator as the default for all users.
Editing objects
- Drag fields from the Palette or the list of Database Fields into the Design.
- In the Object Inspector you set properties. Padding and Margins show a combined value when collapsed and each of the four sides individually when expanded. Under „Verhalten“ you make a field required or read-only. Right-click → Reset to defaults.
- In the Object Tree you drag objects into groups or tab pages; their substructure moves along.
- Esc selects the parent object.
Tabs
A tab object divides the form into pages. Use the right mouse button to add new pages, rename, remove or move them.
Saving and activating
Save creates a new, not-yet-active version. Save & activate applies it for all users of the tenant; other workstations pick up the change after about 20 seconds. Older versions can be found under Form versions.
