1 Introduction to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Form Design Aid

This chapter contains the following topics:

1.1 Development Tools Form Design Aid Overview

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Form Design Aid is used to create or modify JD Edwards EnterpriseOne interactive applications. Interactive applications are composed of forms, and a form is the interface between a user and a table. This interface should present the data logically and contain the functions that are necessary to enter and manipulate data.

You can open multiple FDA projects. You are able to use all of FDAs functionality on each project that you have open. The number of projects that you can have open depends on your computer's performance capabilities. You cannot open the same application in two different FDA windows.

If you want to open more than one application in FDA, follow this process:

  1. From OMW, choose an item to open in FDA and click the Design button.

  2. On Object Management Workbench – [Interactive Application Design], click the Design Tools tab.

  3. Click Start Form Design Aid.

  4. On the toolbar at the bottom of your screen, click the minimized Object Management Workbench – [Interactive Application Design].

  5. Click the Cancel button.

  6. From OMW, choose an item to open in FDA and click the Design button.

  7. On Object Management Workbench – [Interactive Application Design], click the Design Tools tab.

  8. Click Start Form Design Aid.
