Using the Form window to create a column definition and control mapping

You can create a column and control mapping definition from the Form window. However, before you create a definition, the table in which you want to create the column definition must exist in the CDD mapping.

To create a definition from the Form window:

  1. Open the Form window containing the control you want to map, and expand the tree so that the control is visible.
  2. Right-click the control, and choose Add Data Mapping from the pop-up menu.

    The Create New Data Mapping dialog box appears.

  3. Expand the tree so that the table in which you want to create the column definition is visible.
  4. Select the table.

    The Add Column button becomes available.

  5. Click Add Column.

    The InForm Architect application generates a definition for the column mapping and the control path.

You can also quickly generate a definition by dragging the control from the Form window onto the Data Mappings window.

Note: The InForm Architect application only allows you to drag and drop controls for which you can legitimately create mappings. You cannot drag and drop a simple control or a group control.

To drag a control from the Form window to the Data Mappings window:

  1. Open the Form window containing the control you want to map and expand the tree so that the control is visible.
  2. Open the Data Mappings window and expand the definition so that the table in which you want to create the column definition is visible.
  3. Drag the control from the Form window and drop it onto the table in the Data Mappings window.
