Creating Combined Views


You can create a combined view from two or more related forms, in the same application. For example, in the topic Create Relationship between Forms, we created two forms - "Employee" form to enter employee details and "Department" form to enter department details and created relationship between the two forms. To create a new combined view with these two forms,

 

1. Select the New View option in the Views tab and create a new view. The dialog to create the new view is displayed.

 

2. By default, the "Combined View" will be created with all the columns in the "Employee" form as shown below. The column "Department" is imported from the "Department" form.

 

 

3. To view the other columns in the "Department Form", select the Column Properties option displayed on the left-side of the Views Tab. By default, this will display all the columns in the "Employee Form". The imported field "Department" will have a related fields an link as highlighted below. Click on the related fields link, and select the columns to be displayed from the "Department form" and click Done, to update the changes.
