Definition

When you choose Layout within the Form Painter, the system displays a second window, the design window. Here, you can use the mouse to design the page layout (drag & drop, cut & paste). From within the administration screen, you can assign two different modes to the design window. Choose Design/Text to switch between:

  • Design mode

  • Text mode

In design mode, you can:

  • Use the mouse to position the windows

  • Change the window size

  • Select a window for editing

The design window has a grid surface to allow easy aligning of the windows.

In text mode, the system displays the text elements of the individual windows. To see the entire text, scroll in the window. However, the text is read-only. To edit it, branch to the editor by choosing the Text button on the administration screen.
