Device Application Designer page preferences

Set the preferences for the appearance of the Device Application Designer pages and Palette groupings.

Section Description
Device Application Designer pages Select the pages you want to view in the Device Application Designer editor during the development process.
  • Show the Introduction page – by default this is selected. Unselect to hide the Introduction page.
  • Show the Source page – select to show the Source page in the editor.
Flow Design page Use these options to configure the Grid, Geometry options, and so on in the Flow Design page:
  • Grid – select to display the grid in the Flow Design page.
  • Snap to geometry – select to show the lines of geometry for aligning objects in the Flow Design page.
  • Show the connection type – unselect to remove the name from the connection link line; you may want to do this to clear clutter from flows with a lot of connections. The connections remain color-coded, and the tooltip on the line describes the connection type.
  • Route connection directly – this style is used by default and shows the connection line directly. If you unselect this option, a "Manhattan" style of routing is used, which has limitations if there are many connections in the flow design.
Palette grouping If selected, the palette group appears as a drop-down. Use this option to specify how objects in the Flow Design and Screen Design Palettes appear:
