The user interface of a generated program is based on the forms
created for the program. There are two types of generated forms - CRUD and Zoom.
- CRUD
- CRUD forms are used to Create, Read, Update, and Delete
data from a database.
CRUD forms are typical data input and browsing forms. One CRUD form can call another CRUD form or a
Zoom form.
- Zoom
- A Zoom form generates a form used to select
a value from a list and return the value to the program. It is generally related to a CRUD form
field to assist the user with completing the form data entry. For example, a Zoom form could be created that displays a list of country codes from the
country database table. When the user triggers the zoom action to occur, either by selecting
the zoom icon on the Toolbar or from the zoom field, a list of country codes displays in a popup
window. When a country code is chosen from the list, the zoom form closes and the value is populated
in the corresponding field on the main form.
