How You Create or Change Panels

You create and change panels by using an online editor-select option P from the MODS : Primary Menu. You must be authorized to use this facility. Sites can limit the number of concurrent users by restricting the amount of storage available to the online editor.

Note: For more information about using the online editor, see the Managed Object Development Services Guide.

When you create a panel, you give it a unique 1- to 12-character name, which is nominated whenever a request is made to display the panel. Once defined, panel details are stored in a VSAM database and can be updated as required.

The standard split-screen facilities are useful when designing panels. The panel editor can be used on one window, while the panel test facility of Edit Services displays the current version of the panel being developed on the other.
