4.2. Data Forms and Tables

The main page and most of the elements have one or more forms and tables of data on them. Each of these can be tailored to the end user's needs through the XML file /opt/ah3/default_forms.xml. Every form or table presented in the Ah3 application is defined in the /opt/ah3/default_forms.xml file. To learn the name of the actual element defining the form or table, click in the area of the form or table then press Shift-F1. This will present a short blurb about the purpose of the form or table and the name it uses in the XML file.

Caveate: Disabled tables, those with no data, do not show their Blurb. As a rule, most tables have an associated form and their name can be derived by substituing _form with _table.

For details on the actuall format of the file and the choices of elements, prease refer the web page http://www.linuxlots.com/~qcj/pages.html. Ultimately, the information on that document will be incorporated into this section.
