Overview of Device Designs

When you declare a function, CA 2E supplies a default panel design. You can modify it to meet your requirements using an interactive panel design tool.

A device design specifies the following:

• The selection of fields present on a device panel and the accompanying text for each field
• The display of both fields and text may be conditional.
• The order in which the fields are displayed on the device panel and how they are edited
• The display attributes for the fields
• The use of each field

All of the above are defaulted from the design model. You may override most of these default values.
