The Lucity Web system allows administrators to create custom Views and Forms to be used online. All Web modules are made up of three main components: Views, Grids, and Forms. These components are described briefly below.
View |
Views control how data is structured or displayed on screen. A View can either show all of the records in a single module or a limited set of records for a module, based on a filter. Views are launched as Application tabs and can be opened from the new tab dialog Each View contains one or more grids. Forms may be attached to Views to allow users to open individual records for more detailed information. |
Grids |
Grids display a list of records from the module for which the view has been built. Each record displays a set of general information (customized by system administrators). If a record contains child records, the record can be expanded to display the grid of related child records. Attached to each grid is a toolbar that enables users to perform different operations. Example: A parent Work Order grid may contain child Resources, Tasks, and Tracking grids. |
Forms |
Forms display individual records and can be customized (by system administrators) to let users see record details or to edit a record. Forms can be launched from a grid or a menu, depending on system settings. |
The following sections display how to import new Views, Grids, and Forms, how to modify them, and how set them up for use.
Remember: Each component can be fully customized; the screenshots included in this help guide are only examples.
