Understanding Page Production

If you change pages or delete controls in the page definition, use the tools in the Edit and File menus. To avoid making changes that might adversely affect your application database, review your plans with your database administrator. Together, you can evaluate the effect that your actions might have on the system database as a whole.

Several additional steps in the page design process help make future editing of page definitions easier.

After you design a page, you must set the attributes for how the page should function and make sure that you have the proper documentation to assist you when performing upgrades. Access the Page Properties dialog box by selecting File, and then Definition Properties in page definition mode.

Use the General tab in the Page Properties dialog box to document the page. Enter both short and long descriptions of the page here. You can also document what changes have been made, or must be made, to a page.
