To Select a Layout Rule in the Screen Editor

To start the customization of a layout rule, you have to select it in the Screen Editor. To do this, perform the following actions.

1. Open the form that contains the container with the layout rule, so that the container is displayed on the screen.
2. On the form title bar, click Customization > Inspect Element to open the Element Inspector.
3. On the form, click the area of the container to be customized, to open the Element Properties Dialog Box for the container.
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. (See To Select an Existing Project and To Create a New Project for details.)

   If the customization project does not contain a changeset for the form, the Customization Project Editor adds to the project a Page item for the form to keep in the database the changeset to the ASPX code of the form. The container is opened in the Screen Editor and selected in the Control Tree of the editor.

6. If the required layout rule is not displayed in the Control Tree, expand the subnodes of the container node to display the rule.
7. In the Control Tree, select the layout rule to start the customization.

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