Screen framework

This section introduces the concept of the app screens and all the configuration options that support those screens.

PreBilt uses four different screen types:

1. Selection screens

2. List screens

3. Input screens

4. Popup/message screens

All the screens above, except for the Popup/Message screen, can be customised and controlled with app master data.

Some popup screens for specific functionality are included in the app master data. Check the specific app for details.

Configuration elements linked with screens

Every screen typically has some associated configuration options, which are identified by the screen name with an additional 4th segment in the name, outlining the type.

• Other Type – this is used to show associated controls for a particular screen, such as SORT for sorting, ACTIONS for the allowed actions and HEADER for the header part of a list screen.

Ideally these configuration options are grouped together in the app master data for ease of maintenance and understanding. This grouping is controlled by the appropriate sequence number setup in configuration, see section 'Configuration Fields in the Base Framework – Configuration Setup.’

Typically, SELECT and INPUT screens have only the following additional configuration option:

• ACTIONS

For example, an INPUT screen with its associated option:

Typically, LIST screens have the following four additional configuration options:

• SORT

• HEADER

• HEADER_EX

• ACTIONS
