Dragging Field Definitions From a Record Onto a Page

To drag field definitions from a record onto a page:

1. Open an existing record definition by selecting File, and then Open, and then Record.

2. Open a new page by selecting File, and then New, and then Page.

3. Drag field definitions from the record to the page.

   The system selects the page definition control type based on the record field attributes. In the preceding page, the EMPLID (employee identification) field was defined as a prompt table edit in the record, so a Prompt button was added for EMPLID when it was dragged onto the page.

4. Double-click the new page field to set the properties.

   When you drag field definitions, the properties from the record definition are used to set page field default properties. You can alter the properties using the Properties dialog box.
