Editing Items

GUI Form

Where user and model permissions allow it, an item can be edited and saved from a GUI form:

• Displayed field names are customizable and provide tooltips according to a Field Display Policy for the model.
• Form GUI Rules control the default field availability and pre-populated values.
• When a form is opened, form details are initially rendered using cached data. While loading the non-cached data, the Save button on the button bar is unavailable, and replaced by a ‘spinning wheel’. Once the non-cached data has been loaded, the ‘spinning wheel disappears and is replaced by the Save button.
• A form may also provide an on-line help icon to guide a user in editing it.
