The screen capture below shows the three different areas of the SAP Form Builder: The navigation tree (hierarchy structure of a Smart Form) on the left, the maintenance screen in the middle, and the Form Painter on the right.

If you select a tree in the node, the system updates the maintenance screen and marks the relevant window in the Form Painter. You can also select a window in the Form Painter; the system them marks the relevant node in the tree.

To select a node in the tree, double-click it. The system updates the maintenance screen accordingly.

Use Drag&Drop to move (left mouse button) or copy (Ctrl + left mouse button) subtrees.

Drag&Drop is a "move" operation, consisting of a "cut" and a "paste" operation with its own clipboard. If the node you are moving can be appended either on the same level as the target node or as a successor of the target node, the context menu offers both possbilities.

Use the right mouse button to display a sensitive context menu in the tree (that is, depending on the current node type). The following functions exist:

• Creating or deleting (only in change mode)
  Depending on the selected node type only valid node types appear.
• Clipboard operations (see below), such as cutting, copying to clipboard, pasting from clipboard (only in change mode)
• Expanding and collapsing a subtree

There are three clipboard operations:

• Copy
  Copies the selected node with all its successor nodes into the clipboard.
• Cut
  Copies the selected node with all its successor nodes into the clipboard and deletes the copied nodes from the tree.
• Paste
  Before pasting, the system checks whether and where you are allowed to append the root node of the clipboard contents.
