Designing derived forms

Derived forms are copies of master forms, and are meant to be accessed on alternate devices (for example, mobile phones and tablet PCs). Because of the differences in devices, components on a derived form must often be rearranged or removed.

  1. On the Edit Device Types dialog box, verify that the intended device has been defined.
  2. With the master form open and in Design Mode, select Form > Definition > Form Device Type.
  3. In the Editing Versions for Form dialog box, select a checked row to edit the derived form for that device, or select an unchecked row to create a derived form for that device.
  4. To close this dialog box and open the derived form, click OK.
Note:  This dialog box can be accessed in Runtime Mode. However, in this case, only existing derived forms can be selected. To create a new derived form, you must be in Design Mode.
