Form Element Edit Window: Basic Tab

The Basic tab shows identifying information about the element, including the Widget Key and Widget Type. In most cases you do not need to edit information on this tab, but in some cases, you can specify a URL to load for this element, a Facade Alias, or Facade Column.

The Basic tab includes the following fields:

Field Description
Widget Key This field displays the key assigned to the widget (in guid format). This key is automatically assigned by the Form Designer and cannot be edited.
Widget Type This field displays the text descriptor for the widget. This field is automatically generated and cannot be edited.
URL If this field is shown, you can add a fully qualified URL that will display within the widget. For example, View Pane element might launch a new form, or an external web page.
Facade Alias If you add a data element to the form, such as a dropdown list, facade field, or hyperlink, use this field to set an Alias name for the data element.
Facade Column If you add a data element to the form, use this field to set the column associated with the Facade Alias.
