Page Link

Page Links extend the navigation hierarchy by enabling navigation between Navigation and newly created Form pages. Once a Page Link is created, you have the flexibility to customise it and establish a link to an existing Form page, if desired.

To create a Page Link, follow these steps:

1. Create or Select a Navigation page: Begin by creating a new navigation page or selecting an existing one that you wish to use.

2. Integrate a Page Link: Drag and position a Page Link screen control within the Screen Structure at an appropriate location.

3. Access Page Link Properties: Click on the Page Link element to select it. This action will create a system generated Page and reveal the corresponding properties within the Properties panel.

4. Configure and Save Properties: Use the Properties panel to tailor the Page Link Properties as per your preferences. Once the configuration is refined, remember to save your adjustments."
