Creating a Form

You can create a form in a profile to create a new property tab or dialog box in the PowerDesigner interface, or to replace a standard property sheet tab.

1. Right-click a metaclass, stereotype or criterion and select New > Form to create an empty form.
   
   
   
2. Enter a scripting Name and display Label for the form, select a Type and enter any other appropriate properties (seeForm Properties). This name will display in the tab of the property tab or in the title bar of the dialog box. You can also, optionally, enter a description of the form in the Comment field.
3. Insert controls as necessary in your form using the toolbar on the Form tab (see Adding Extended Attributes and Other Controls to Your Form).
4. Click the Preview button to review the layout of your form and, when satisfied, click Apply to save your changes.
