Managing object pages

Most pages are associated with objects. See Managing generic pages for information about managing generic pages.

From an object view page, you can see the pages associated with that object by clicking Pages in the ribbon:

Pages in Ribbon

The object's pages are displayed in a table:

Pages

From this table, you can click one of the following links in a page's row:

  • View — Opens a pop-up window displaying a preview of the page. For View, Edit, and Status pages, opens a selector page where you can select the record to view in the preview.
  • Edit — Opens the page editor.
  • Clone — Creates a new version of the page and opens it in the page editor.
  • Del — Deletes the page. This options is only available for cloned pages.Deletes the page. This option is not available for pages automatically created by Platform.
  • Synch — For New, Edit, and View pages, opens the Synchronize page, which allows you to synchronize the page with another page in the application, meaning all of the page components will be the same on both pages. This is useful, for example, when you have edited an Edit page to add new field components to it and you want to update the New page to contain the same components. Click Synch next to the Edit page, select the New page, and click Save.

  • Properties — Opens the Page Properties page, which allows you to edit the page's properties, the heading for each of the page's sections, and other properties depending on the page type. It also allows you to define HTML event handlers for the page (not available for Selector pages). The screen below shows the Page Properties page for an Edit page:
