Creating List Forms

Use

You define the layout for a list entry on the RenderListItem form. You typically use this form to display certain elements such as the title and summary of a news item.

If users click the title of a news item, for example, the system uses a Show form to display the news item in full.

You can use this form for both the iView for authors and the iView for readers.

Procedure

You use this form to define a single entry in a list. If, for example, there are multiple news items, the system repeats this layout for each item.

  1. Use Drag&Drop to pull the elements of the data model that contain text onto the RenderListItem form.

    • By default, you use Drag&Drop with the primary mouse button to create label controls with a reference to the elements of the data model. You can change this behavior using the Drag&Drop property of the Edit form.

    • You use Drag&Drop with the secondary mouse button to create any controls.
