Default Info Pages |

A default web application consists of a number of different pages: info pages, lookup pages and related pages. Default info pages are generated on the basis of a data model. If the data model includes a table storing Customer data, then Web Designer automatically provides a default Customers info page that allow users to access or change these data. Default info pages provide all the basic functionality that you need to fully interact with the data: •Users can query data that contains a specified search string, and view the query results. •Users can add, change, and remove data within the same web page. Users access a default info page by choosing an option from the default menu. Here is an example of a default generated Tours info page for a tour operator:
Info pages have a search area and a results area. In the example, the search area allows end users to search in two of the base table columns. The results area shows all base table columns to be displayed (in this case there are six). Two columns are displayed multi-record style, and the other four single-record style. For columns defined in the Definer, the "In Display Selection" attribute specifies whether this column is displayed in the multi-record result block, or in the single-record result block. If this attribute is not specified for any column, only the key columns (columns in the primary, secondary,... key, i.e., Key = 1,2,...) are displayed, except for the single-record result block where all other columns (i.e., Key = No) are displayed. However, this default arrangement can be influenced from USoft Definer. In result areas, the top record is the current record by default. Users make a record the current record by clicking in any updatable field within that record.
