Creating Trigger and Target Feature Tables

To create trigger and target feature tables for Interactive Designer applications, perform the following tasks:

• Creating a target table.
• Creating row types for the target feature table.
• Populating the target feature table.

  See Editing a Feature Table for instructions on completing this step.

• Creating a trigger feature table and tying it to the target table.
• Tying each table to a UI Control.

Each of these steps is explained in the following procedures.

To create a target table

1. In the Pagesets screen, click the Feature Tables view tab.
2. Choose New Record from the Feature table applet menu.

   A new Feature Table window appears.

3. Enter a name, without spaces, for the Feature table.

To tie the Trigger and Target Feature tables to UI controls
