Entering and exiting Design Mode
Use Design Mode to create or edit forms and global objects.
If you are customizing an application and have Basic, Full User, or Site Developer editing permissions, be aware that the version of a form you display is determined by your user ID and by the hierarchy of user-group-site versions that exist on your system. Your ability to customize a form is determined by your editing scope.
You can go into Design Mode either by clicking the Design Mode button on the toolbar or by selecting from the menu. Use these same options to exit Design Mode.
If you attempt to enter Design Mode for a form without checking out the form, you are prompted that the form or object is not locked. Click to check out the form without the need to exit Design Mode. Form Control is launched with the necessary fields pre-filled with data so that you only have to check out the form.
You can view forms in Design Mode by either of these means:
- Open the form and then going into Design Mode.
- Go into Design Mode and then selecting menu .
