Note

A developer can easily control the availability of one or more parts on a form without having to write a Layout Control. Each Form Template Parts record includes Disabled Behavior and Run Mode fields that determine the conditions under which a particular part should be available on a form, as described below:

  • When a Form Template Part has a Run Mode of All, the part is always visible on a form.
  • When a Form Template Part has a Run Mode of New Only and a Disabled Behavior of Disable, the specified part is only available on new records. Once the record has been saved, the field or tab becomes unavailable.
  • When a Form Template Part has a Run Mode of New Only and a Disabled Behavior of Hide, the specified part is only available on new records. Once the record has been saved, the field or tab is automatically removed from the form and is no longer available.
  • When a Form Template Part has a Run Mode of Saved Only and a Disabled Behavior of Disable, the specified part is only available for saved records. The field or tab is grayed out and unavailable on new records and automatically becomes available once the record has been saved.
  • When a Form Template Part has a Run Mode of Saved Only and a Disabled Behavior of Hide, the specified part is only available for saved records. The field or tab is not visible on new records and is automatically added to the form once the record has been saved.
  • If you want to disable the part for all run modes, clear the Enabled option at the bottom of the form. 

...

  • Automatic: The location of the part is determined automatically by the sequence in which it appears on the Parts tab of a Forms Templates record. This is the setting used for parts that correspond to tabs on a form.
  • Specific: The location of the part is determined by the position and size coordinates detailed on the Placement tab. This is the setting used by all parts that correspond to individual fields on a form.
