You can create an application with Update Assist that
adds records, updates records, or deletes records against any data
source for which you have read/write access. Data navigation and
input validation are automatic. This means you get an update application
with no need to design forms, or to write navigation, validation,
or update procedures.
To start using Update Assist, do the following:
- In a Domain folder, create a new HTML page, using the HTML/Document wizard.
- In the Requests & Data Sources panel, from the New drop-down
list, select Embedded Request and then select New
Maintain Data with Update Assist or select External
Request and then select Maintain Data: New
with Update Assist.
- Select the Master File from the Open File dialog box.
Note:
- If you are using a single segment Master
File, Update Assist consists of two steps.
- If you are using a multi-segment Master File, Update Assist
consists of three steps. The additional dialog box asks you to first
select the lowest segment in the hierarchy that you want to update.
The Update Assist dialog boxes correspond to the steps for generating
Update Assist applications.
