Page Wizard

The Page Wizard allows you to create web pages in a fast and convenient way, guiding you step by step through the process of defining the page structure, design, and options. To run the wizard double-click the Create web page by using wizard item within the Profile Window | Web Pages page.

The first step of the wizard allows you to set the page name, which identifies it within the profile. You should also select the creation mode of the new page. Create page as web form creates a new page as a set of input controls for editing source data, Create page as web grid creates a new page as a simple table displaying source data, and Create both pages at once creates two pages in each of the above modes.

The second step allows you to select tables and columns for generating the page controls and/or table columns.

Select the table name from the Tables drop-down list and move table columns from the Available Fields list to the Selected Fields. Note, that you can select fields from multiple tables.

At the next step of the Page Wizard you can adjust the graphical design of the new form in a most easy way.

The Style Sheet list box allows you to select a pre-defined style sheet for the page. You can see a page sample with the selected style applied at the left pane.

With the next step of the wizard you can set additional page parameters.

The following properties are available for editing:

Master Table - the main table of the page, used for navigation, applying data modifications, and master-detail relations within the page;
Page Title - the title of the result page;
Encoding - the encoding used for displaying text within the page;
Description - an optional description for the page, which you can see in the Detail view of the Profile Window | Web Pages page;
Add Sorting Links - this option is available only for grid-pages; it defines whether the column captions should behave like hyperlinks for sorting table data;
Add Edit Links - this option is available only if you create two pages at once; it defines whether these pages should be linked between each other.
Records per Page - this option is available only for grid-pages; it defines the number of records in the table to be displayed at a single page.

This step is available only if Create both pages at once was selected on the first page. Use this page to define various options of simultaneously created pages.

Use the upper to define separate page and file names for each page. Check the Add Interaction Links to Pages option to create a special column in the grid table, where an edit link for each record will be placed. This link navigates to the form script. On the form script a link to grid script is also added at the top of the form.

The final step of the wizard allows you to select the action to perform after the creation and displays information about the creation errors, if such occur.

Select Open the page in design mode to open the Page Designer after the page is created. To view the data of the new page within the Page Data View, select Open the page for viewing/entering data. To close the wizard without any action after creating the form, select the Take no action item.

To create the page with all the parameters you have set, click the Finish button.
