Using Interface Builder (IB):

The Generation Process (LINK)

  • If the Refresh message appears in the display window, press the SEND button in the upper right corner or double click either list box to fill in with data.
  • ISPEC List - contains a list of all ISPECS found in the Model last scanned.  To selectively generate forms, double click an entery and a "g" will appear indicating that this selection will be include when Generate Selected Forms is requested.  Double clicking an entry already marked with a "g" toggles the selection and excludes this ISPEC from the Selected Generation List.
  • Action - Select which generation option you wish to request.  "Generate All Objects" will generate forms for ALL Ispecs in the list regardless of they have been marked with a "g".  "Generate Selected ISPECS" will search for only those ISPECs that have been marked with the "g" selected generation flag.
  • Highlight Action and Generate - based on the selections in ISPEC list and the Action, IB will initiate the form generation for the GUI interface or the DHTML depending on the dynamic run time option selected on the CONFG form.
  • Back to Previous form - this request will return you to the form you were on prior to coming to the Generate Output (LINK)
  • Modify IEWEN INI - prior to generation if the user remembers something they would like to change in the IB generate options, they can navigate to the IBINI form and make changes to the IEWEB INI.

Review the Style Sheets, IEWEB INI options or return to the IB Home Page.
