Web Settings: Potential risks

Web Settings may affect the behavior of your application. A field's position, size, and visibility in the web browser may be changed through Web Settings. These changes can affect how a field overlaps other fields, and the visibility of fields. Changing a field's position and size can also increase the size of the record, which may affect visibility of records in a Web browser. Be sure you are aware of these potential risks when using Web Settings.

To determine the visibility of fields and records in a browser, WebFacing will first make any changes to position, size, and visibility of fields by using Web Settings. The visibility of fields and records will then be determined using the same rules that are outlined in the DDS Manual and the Application Display Programming Guide. For more information on the visibility of overlapping fields, see Keywords for Display Files > Positional Entries > Location in the DDS Manual. For more information the visibility of overlapping records, see Keywords for Display Files > OVERLAY in the DDS manual and Writing Output to the Display in the Application Display Programming Guide.
