The header data of a form consists of global data, such as the page format used, the page orientation, or the initially used font.You maintain these data in the Basic settings of the header data. The header data also include the name of the form, its description, the form class, and the status. To see them, branch to the administration data (pushbutton).

If you display or edit the form header in the form maintenance transaction, the screen looks more or less like the one below. Depending on whether you use the graphical (32bit platform Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 required!) or the traditional alphanumeric Form Painter, you can design the layout with the mouse (pushbutton Layout) or by defining Windows, Pages and Page windows. Below, you see the interface of the graphical Form Painter.
