Data Control wizard

The Data Control wizard is used to rapidly create a form from a database meta-schema.

Once you have added a database schema to your project, you can add fields for database columns to your form.

Access the Data Control wizard from the Form Designer or Business Application diagram:
  1. Column selection
    Use the Column selection dialog to choose a database and select fields for the form.
  2. Container selection
    The Container selection dialog lets you choose the type of container for the form.
  3. Joins and Data order
    The Edit query dialog allows you to specify the joins between the tables in a record used for a form, report, or service. Joins between tables referenced in the form are set up in the query property of the business record.
  4. Dynamic properties
    The Dynamic properties dialog lets you change the label displayed for a formField or the widget used to display the value.
