Create Custom Data Entry Pages

For an introduction to data entry pages, go to Data Entry PagesDeveloping data entry pages (Deprecated).

Create New Data Entry Pages

To create a new data entry page, you need to create two XML files: a layout file and a definition file under <custom_project>/web/WebContent/pages/dataEntry/<module_name>

...

As you can see in the example above, for the name, alternative code and log information components, generic components were used. For more information on generic components and how to use them, go to Use Generic Components (Deprecated).

Customise Existing Data Entry Pages

To extend the system's release functionality, by adding new components to an existing data entry page, both custom data entry definition and layout files must be created. To extend the system's release functionality, by just changing the layout of the existing components, only a custom data entry layout file must be created. Both definition and layout files must be created under  <custom_project>/web/WebContent/pages/dataEntry/<module_name>.
