Designing table pages

Table pages are the pages for working with tables. List, Add, Edit, and View are examples of Table pages. To learn more about the table pages, see Choose pages screen.

 
Add field, Remove field buttons are available for all types of pages. Use these buttons to add table fields to the page grid, filter, or search panels. Click on the field name to add or remove it.

pd_add_field

 
Add Section/Add Tab buttons are available for the Add, Edit, and View pages. Click these buttons to add a section or a tab to the preview area. Drag-n-drop fields to the new section/tab.

 

To rename or format the section/tab, click on it, and modify its properties. See Working with elements for details.

pd_addsect

 

Add step button is available for the Add/Edit pages. It allows dividing the Add/Edit process into several steps.

Here is how a two-step Add page looks like:

pd_table_pages_steps

 

Insert button is used to add buttons, snippets, maps or HTML texts and images to the page. See Insert custom button, Insert code snippet, Insert map, Insert Text / Image, Insert standard button to learn more.

pd_table_pages_insert

 

Use Undo and Redo buttons to undo/redo last change on the page.

Page properties

You can find page properties on the right-side panel. They are the same for all types of pages.

pd_table_pages_properties

 

Default/Draft page checkbox.
 
Page Designer lets you create multiple pages of the same type. These Default/Draft options let you choose whether the selected page is the default one or a draft.

 

You can only have one default page of each type: List, Add, Edit, etc. The elements that link to the page type send the user to the default page unless you change it in the page option in the properties of these elements. For example, if you create an 'Edit1' page and make it default, the Edit button on the list page will lead the user to the 'Edit1' page instead of 'Edit'. See Working with additional pages to learn more.

 

The draft option lets you hide the selected page in the generated application.
 
Page management buttons:

Copy page button copies the current page. The auto-incremented number is added to the new page name.

Copy layout to ... button copies the current page layout to the selected page.

Rename page button renames the current page.

Delete page button deletes the current page.

Page Options

Under the page properties, you can see options available for the page. For example, the List page has options to control Inline Add/Edit, details link, listSearch, or Totals.

 

Add and Edit pages have the button to enable captcha on the generated page.

 
List Page settings

pd_listopt_list

Create filter control in field headers

When this option is enabled, ASPRunner.NET creates Excel-like filters in column headers on the List page.

 

list_page_filter

 

By default, filter list is built based on top 3000 records. If you need to take into account more data, add the following code to AfterAppInit event:

 

GlobalVars.fieldFilterMaxValuesCount = 10000;
