WEBDEV Concepts

Part 2: Developing a site 33 3.2 Project elements The project includes pages, reports, queries, sets of procedures and more. To know the list of elements of a project, on the "Project" tab, in the "Project" group, click "List of elements". This option is used to: • add to your project elements belonging to projects that can be accessed from your computer. The corresponding files will not be moved to the directory of your project. • delete elements from your project. The corresponding files are not physically deleted. To quickly find an element in your project, press "Ctrl + E" from any editor. 4 Operations performed on a project Let’s see the main operations that can be performed on a project: • Save a project, • Restore a project, • Duplicate a project, • Copy or delete a project, • Rename a project. For more details, see the online help. 5 Technical documentation of the project WEBDEV allows you to print different technical documentations describing all the elements of the project (pages, reports, data files, items, etc.). To print the technical documentation: • on the "Home" tab, in the "General" group, expand and select "Print project technical documentation". The technical documentation can contain all the characteristics of the project. • on the "Home" tab, in the "General" group, click . In this case, the technical documentation will contain only the details of the current element (page, report, query, etc.). 5.1 Type of technical documentation There are different types of technical documentation: • Overall: Contains basic information about the project elements. • Code: Contains the code of all the project objects and procedures. • Full documentation: Contains all project information. This type of technical documentation can be very extensive. • Custom: Corresponds to a selection of information to print. Generating the technical documentation The technical documentation can be printed on the selected printer. The technical documentation is generated and displayed in the report viewer. You can: • start the print job, • export the technical documentation as PDF (via the "Export" tab of the report viewer). For more details, see the online help. 5.2 Print areas If graphical representations (LDM, UML diagrams, etc.) must be printed, the print areas must be set before printing the technical documentation. To specify the print areas of the current graphic representation : 1. Display the print areas in the current editor. For example, in the data model editor, go to the "Display" tab, "Help for edit" group, and check "Print areas". 2. A series of borders that represent the printable areas in the documentation will appear in the current editor. 3. Reduce the graphic representation (change the value in the combo box with a percentage in the "Display" pane, or use the Ctrl + Mouse wheel shortcut) to see the entire graph. 4. With the mouse: • move these borders to the desired location by keeping the mouse button down (the mouse cursor is black). • choose the number of pages on which the graphic representation must be printed (the mouse cursor turns into a North-West/South- East double arrow).
