iX Developer

Development Environment

3.3.3

Startup Screen

The startup screen is the first screen that opens when a project is executed. By default, Screen1 is set as startup screen.

Another startup screen can be set at any time by right-clicking on the screen on the desktop or in the Project Explorer and selecting

Set as Startup Screen

.

The selected startup screen is easily distinguished from the other screens in the

Project Explorer by a blue outline when in focus.

3.3.4

Screen Template

The installation of iX Developer includes a number of screen templates with basic functionality. It is also possible to save your own screens as screen templates, by right-clicking on the current screen and selecting

Save Screen as Template

.

The screen template can be used in the current or other iX Developer projects.

If a selected screen template contains tags that were not previously included in the project, you can select to automatically add these to the Tags list.

To use a template screen, click the lower part of the Add Screen button in the

Screen group of the Home ribbon tab. A preview of screen templates is displayed.

User-created as well as predefined screen templates may be deleted by right-clicking on the template in the preview and selecting

Delete Screen

Template

. The folder of the selected screen is then permanently deleted from disk.

3.3.5

Screen Security

Using security settings for screens makes it possible to restrict access to screens based on user security groups, similarly to object security.

It is not possible to set security for the Startup screen.

When using a background screen, the security settings of the top level screen are applied.

When screens are imported from other iX Developer projects or from Information

Designer, security settings are included and will be used in the current project.
