The tile
display edit type displays an object instance in a tiled view. The
layout and appearance of the values is defined in a separate screen
set and its detail screens. This separate screen set is used by
the tile display field, with its detail screens displayed within
the tile display field as a tab control.
Prior
to defining a field with an edit type of tile display, the separate
screen set it is to display must be defined. This screen set must
be defined to display the object type desired for display in the
tile display field. The separate screen set can contain a single
detail screen. The fields of this detail screen display the property
values of the selected object type.
When the detail screen
containing the tile display field is displayed on the client, the
separate screen set and its detail screen are displayed within the
viewable area of the tile display field. These values are read-only.
The
tile display edit type does not support the following general field
attributes:
- Object Property
- Read-only
- Format
- Change Focus
- Update Rule
- Special Value

The following
attributes are specific to the tile display edit type. These are

Screen Set: This attribute specifies the screen set to display
