Operational modes
The mode is determined by a command line argument within the properties of
the shortcut used to launch Form Designer (FRD). The three command line arguments are
/mode permissions, /mode
normal, or /mode full. Command line arguments
within the properties of shortcuts are defined in User Group Menu Designer (UGM). The
default is /mode normal.
Permissions Mode
This allows you to only modify the form permission information within Form Permissions Editor (FPE). This can be set for all form types.
Normal Mode
Normal Mode includes the Permissions Mode functionality and allows you to:
- Display form window information for system forms (but does not allow you to edit them).
- Copy, rename and then amend system forms.
- Create new user forms, and manipulate the form window information.
- Modify existing user forms.
- Create form help information for both system and user forms.
Full Mode
This mode allows the editing of all forms including system and SASI forms - system level forms not editable in v7? This mode requires separate serialization and is only available to developers.
