Activating Forms

After you save the form in an appropriate project directory in the StarFlow Extensions project, follow the instructions below to activate the form for use in the Cross-Platform Client.

Note: If you have alternate property editors (APEs) designated for use in the Project Properties dialog box, you must disable them to activate the customized Layout Designer form.

To activate your custom form in the Cross-Platform Client, do the following:

  1. Launch the Cross-Platform Client and access the project or view in which the form will be used.
  2. Select the appropriate item tab in the upper pane. For example, if you have modified the default Change Request form with Layout Designer, select the Change Request tab.

  3. Choose [Component] > Properties to open the modified properties dialog. [Component] corresponds to the component for which you edited the form, for example a Change Request.

    Your modified properties dialog displays. To make further updates to the form, you can reopen the form in Layout Designer.
