Designer user preferences options in the Web Designer

Designer settings control aspects of how forms look and behave when you are in the Web Designer. You need these only if you are actively involved in creating or modifying forms in the system.


Option	Description/Comments/Procedures
Show Hidden Components	When selected, hidden components on a form are displayed when in the Web Designer. When cleared, components remain hidden.
Enforce Strict Locking of Forms and Global Objects	Note: This option applies only to users with Site Developer or Vendor Developer editing permissions. When this option is selected, these changes take place: The LockedBy field is set to your user ID for any forms or global objects you create. This prevents anyone else from making changes until you check the form or object in. You receive a warning if you try to open a form or global object that someone else has checked out. You cannot save a form or global object that someone else has checked out. We recommend that you select this option in any environment where there are multiple developers designing and modifying forms.
Visual Studio Downloaded Project Version	To develop or edit downloaded scripts using a version of Microsoft Visual Studio installed on your computer, select one of these options: Visual Studio 2017: To develop scripts using Microsoft Visual Studio 2017, select this option. Visual Studio 2019: To develop scripts using Microsoft Visual Studio 2019, select this option. Note: Infor neither provides nor installs Visual Studio 2017 or 2019 as part of its software. Select these options only if you already have Visual Studio 2017 or 2019 Professional or Enterprise installed on the same computer that you are using to develop scripts.
