How to Insert UET Fields into SyteLine forms and to View the Component properties                  

___________________________________________________________________________

Current Status: The above two UET fields (Preferred Vendor and Name) are created.

Requirement: Need to insert these two fields in Items Form in Planning Tab.

If the vendor number is selected, the name has to be displayed and has to be read only type. 

Steps Involved (Summary):

In the Design Mode of the “Items” form,

1. Insert three objects into the “Items” Form – Planning Tab : Combo box for Vendor Number, Static button for the Vendor Label and Edit box for the Name to be displayed in read only mode.

2. Vendor label (Static button) does not need any additional fields to be entered other than the Description and Caption (details given below)

3. Vendor number (Combo box) needs to have a Binding field as well as Component Class and Parameters field as critical fields.

   1. Component class has to be created if existing one cannot be used.

   2. Validator is included as one of the fields in the Component Class and has to be created if the existing one cannot be used.

   3. Component class is ready to use once the validator and other required fields are entered.

4. Note that the Parameters value should be the property name of the Vendor Name object (Edit box).

5. After all the changes, come out of Design mode and do the testing of ‘Items’ form.
