About this task
To define the Screen elements, you must perform the following
steps:
Procedure
- Open the-CE Lines tab of a Screen.
To do so, select a Screen in the Design Explorer view
and double-click or right-click and select Open.
Then access its -CE Lines tab from the Overview tab
or directly by clicking the -CE Lines tab.
- Add a category if necessary, in the table. When it is created,
a Screen contains only the top category. This top category line is
not displayed in the tree by default but if you do not specify any
other category, all the Screen elements are inserted in this category.
So to add a repetitive or a bottom category, click Add
a category (or select this action in the contextual menu)
and complete the fields of the Category definition section
that opens up.
- Place your cursor in the adequate category in the tree,
on the line you want to insert a new element.
- You can then add one of the following elements:
- A Data Element. To do so, click Add Data
Element , select a Data Element in the dialog box that
opens up and complete the fields of the Field definition section.
After a field has been inserted, you can specify additional controls
on this field (such as presence check, validation conditions, update
option). To do so, select a field (a Data Element) already inserted
in the tree and click the Add additional controls for the
field. Then you must complete the fields of the Additional
controls for the field section that opens up.
- A label. To do so, click Add Label and
complete the fields of the Label definition section
that opens up.
- A Screen call. To do so, click Add Screen

up and complete the fields of the Screen call definition section.
