Creating Region Items
Region items are attributes or object attributes that are placed within a region. These are typically the attributes that you want to display in the region. However, there are exceptions to this.
Prerequisites
Define attributes to associate with regions.
Define objects.
Define object attributes to associate with regions.
Define regions.
To create region items:
1. In the Web Applications Dictionary, navigate to the Region Items folder window. Do this by selecting a region in the Regions window and choosing the Region Items button.
2. Select the attribute type, either attribute or object attribute, to associate to a region. An attribute is usually reserved for use with a button.
3. Select the name of an existing attribute or object attribute.
4. Enter a display sequence for the region item. This is required.
This determines the order of the region items, whether they display or not. If you do not want a region item displayed, select the Hidden item style in the next step.
Hidden: The region item does not display.
Poplist: (This style is not supported.)
6. Optionally, indicate whether the region item can be queried.
7. Optionally, indicate whether the underlying column of the region item should determine the order in which data is displayed, and whether that order is ascending or descending.
This generates a web query form.
