Panel Designs

This section describes CA 2E Toolkit panel design concepts. Toolkit provides facilities for:

The rapid design of panels
The specification of how the panel designs connect to menus and to other panel designs
The presentation of the panel designs to the user

Once finalized, the panel designs can be converted into i OS Data Description Specifications (DDS), ready for programming.

Panel presentation standards - standard layouts, display attributes, message presentation and so on, can be specified centrally. The standards will then be automatically implemented on all the displays that are generated, reducing the amount of work required to specify a panel design, and also improving the standard of presentation throughout the application system.
