To Start a Customization of a Form

To start the customization of a form, you have to open the form in the Screen Editor. To do this, you commonly perform the following operations:

1. Open the form in the browser.
2. On the form title bar, click Customization > Inspect Element to launch the Element Inspector.
3. On the form, click the UI element (or area) to be customized; this opens the Element Properties Dialog Box for the element (or area).
4. In the dialog box, click Customize.
5. If there is no currently selected customization project and the inspector opens the Select Customization Project Dialog Box, select an existing customization project or create a new one.

If the customization project does not contain a changeset for the form, the Customization Project Editor adds a Page item for the form to the project, to keep the changeset to the ASPX code of the form in the database. The form is opened in the Screen Editor, and you can start customization of the form.

When you click Save on the editor toolbar, the editor updates the Page item in the database.
