Understanding Page Control Order and Spacing

The order of the page controls that are on your new page is important to both how your users interact with the page and how the component processor interprets the underlying record and field relationships.

Two types of page control order are important on pages:

• The order in which you visually arrange controls on the page.

• The logical processing order—governed by levels—that the system requires to correctly process the page data.

As you add controls to a page, the system automatically builds a processing control order list that can be viewed on the Order tab of the page definition. Usually, you don't want to preserve this order for processing, so you can reorder your controls on the Order tab to indicate how the system should process your page.
