Dragging Record Definitions Onto a Page

You can add an entire record definition to a page at once, which can save a great deal of time when generating pages. You can then arrange the fields as desired on the page.

Note:

You can also drag an entire record definition into a grid control that you have placed on a page.

See Inserting and Manipulating Grid Columns.

Dragging a record definition to a page

To drag record definitions onto a page:

  1. Open the project that you want to drag from an existing or new page.

  2. Drag the record definition onto the page.

    PeopleSoft Application Designer positions the record fields on the page as page fields in a cascading manner. Fields are in the order that they appear in the record with the appropriate control value assigned to each one.

  3. Reposition the fields as necessary on your page.

  4. Double-click each new page field to set its properties.
