What Screens are Used?

The following six primary screens can be accessed during an online compiler session. The Main Menu displays automatically when the compiler is invoked, but the other screens must be invoked either from the Main Menu screen or from each other. Additionally, some of the screens have more than one page on which you can enter additional information:

• The Main Menu screen establishes basic information about the map such as name and version number.

  The Main Menu screen also contains the action bar which can be used instead of entering a command on the command line. The developer can use the action bar to initiate an add, copy, modify, display, delete, or compile of a map, or to move to another task.

• The General Options screens (two pages) establish the options that apply to the map such as the type of map, display and print options, and attributes for re-displayed fields.
• The Map-level Help Text screen establishes the connection between the map and the IDD module that contains the help text.
• The Associated Records screen establishes the records associated with the map.

  The Autopaint option is also accessed from this screen.

• The Layout screen is used to position map fields on the map.
• The Field Definition screen establishes field-specific options. Information is collected using seven separate pages as follows:
  • Field Definition
  • Map Read/Write Options
  • Additional Edit Criteria
  • Field-level Help
  • Device-dependent Options
  • User-defined Edit Modules
  • Pageable Options
