Master-detail forms

A Genero application can be modeled to a master-detail relationship between two tables.

Desktop applications

A Genero desktop application can display a form that contains a master-detail relationship between two tables.

The user can search for a row in the master table, and the corresponding rows in the detail table will also be displayed. The values in rows from both tables can be added, deleted, or modified.

The form must contain fields from both tables and the table relationships must be set.

Mobile applications

A Genero mobile application requires two forms to manage the master-detail relationship: one form for the master, one form for the detail. Figure 1 shows the form for a master-detail relationship in a desktop application, while Figure 2 shows the equivalent using two forms in a mobile application.
