Usually an application screen has some combination of

  • multiple data records, for example grid, chart, graph or in cards.
  • selected data records, for example a set of fields (form) or card
  • fields for user interaction and their lables
  • buttons
  • menus and navigation

When it comes to creating actions, you can wire actionflows to different components on the screen

  • button - on-click - action, such as update or delete
  • default double-click action on a data view, such as a grid. such as open recorcd.

When you open an existing screen, it is locked by default. This means the screen cannot be edited, for example by selecting or moving componentss. In design mode, right click on the screen area to unlock it. The previous locked status is remembered when switching back to design mode from app mode. To test buttons and actions that you have configured for a screen, you must switch to  Application Mode.
