Previewing Forms

While you are designing forms, you can preview the dimensions that are assigned to the Point of View, columns, rows, and page axes. Previewing displays member attributes, alias, and data associated with forms, although new data cannot be entered.

Previewing completes regular form design validation checks, and checks for proper evaluation of any data validation rules included in the form. Data validation rules must be properly completed before the form can be saved. In addition, data validation rules are saved as part of the form. If you do not save changes to a form, any data validation rule changes made after the form was last saved are lost.

To preview a form’s design:

1. Click the Navigator icon .
2. Under Create and Manage, click Forms.
3. With a form open, click Preview.

   The form opens in edit mode in a new tab.

4. Resolve any issues reported during the design validation checks, including any issues with data validation rules.
5. Save the form to ensure that updates are saved, including any changes to data validation rules.
