The form template referenced is determined in order to display the interface form. The form template given in the form definition is checked for existence in the form archive and to see if it labeled for the correct display purposes.

All form sequence form definitions contain the same base form. The definition of the interface form can only be made for this base form.

You can navigate arbitrarily within the form sequence without leaving the scope of the interface form. | ||

Configuration | The configuration data is used to describe the form properties. The form property’s definition is written in XML notation. | ||
Required tables |
A form definition can be assigned additional tables that are used to display data.
|
Interface forms that need to be valid for all entries in a database table are allocated a general object definition. Other limited object definitions can have more interface forms. If an entry is selected in the user interface, the currently valid object definitions are used to gather all the interface forms and display them in the user interface in their sort order in the task view and in the context menu.
The following object definitions with interface forms are set up for the table Person.
Object definition | Assigned Interface Form |
---|---|
Employee | Business roles |
Person_with_ADUserAccount | Active Directory User Accounts |
Person_with_LDAPAccount | LDAP User Accounts |
The following interface forms are displayed for a "Person" object that fulfills the "Person_with_ADUserAccount" definition:
Business roles |
Active Directory user accounts |
A "Person" object that satisfies the object definition "Person_with_LDAPUserAccount" is given the interface forms:
Business roles |
LDAP User Accounts |
Forms of type "MemberRelation" are implemented to display data in an assignment list (many-to-many relations). Enter the hierarchy path in the table definition to display the table hierarchically. Enter the foreign key column that the hierarchy should be based on.
An Active Directory user account (table ADSAccount) is typically displayed on an assignment form below its Active Directory container (UID_ADSContainer). The Active Directory container (table ADSContainer) is, on the other hand, displayed underneath its Active Directory domain (column UID_ADSDomain). The path for the hierarchy structure is entered as follows:
Table | Hierarchy path |
---|---|
ADSAccount | UID_ADSContainer, UID_ADSDomain |
ADSContainer | UID_ADSDomain |
