Inspect and Edit Pages
Inspect pages and edit pages display the data for a single record of an entity. An edit page allows you to make changes to the record and save the changes, while an inspect page is read-only.
An inspect page looks like this:
Note the buttons at the bottom of the page:
- Delete allows you to delete the record from the database.
- Cancel takes you back to the page from which you accessed this inspect page.
- Edit brings up the equivalent edit page for this record, so that you can make changes. (However, if your application specifies a particular entity as read-only, you won't be able to edit it.)
This property is configured with the DisplayToManyTable component. For more on how this is done, see Representation of Relationships .
An edit page (or edit component) looks like this:
It is similar to the inspect page, except that it has a Save button (for saving changes to the database) instead of an Edit button. If you click the Edit button next to the list of Movies, an edit-relationship page is displayed for editing the records in the to-many relationship. Edit components can occur in multiple-component pages, such as the master-detail page.
