The design of a desktop screen should primarily consist of the following:

Grid
VP Header
Read-Only Viewer

An example would be the Sendung Desktop Screen.

Layout: 3L
Left panel: Sendung Query
Upper right panel: VP header
Lower right panel: ReadOnly viewer

Naming Convention

The naming convention for the Desktop Screen has been defined as: <Entity>Desktop

In the example of Sendung, this would equate to “SendungDesktop”.

Desktop Design

Press ‘New’ in the designer and enter the attributes as depicted below:

SmartModule: Sendung.Sendung (because it should be in the Sendung domain and module)
New Object: SendungDesktop (because this is a desktop form)
Template: SimpleSwatWindow

After creating and saving, now search for newly created “Desktop” screen:

Build.One Documentation > How to Create a Desktop Screen > image004.png

Double Clicking should then open the following screen:

Build.One Documentation > How to Create a Desktop Screen > image005.png

Once open, we can then start designing the screen layout.

First of all, lets add the Data Source Object (i.e, Business Entity). So select the ‘Add’ option and then filter for the appropriate Data Source Object.

To add to our design, simply select the DSO and drag onto the design canvas:

Add a previously generated Grid to our layout (in the case of Sendung, we chose the SendungQuery as this is a read only defined entity).

Build.One Documentation > How to Create a Desktop Screen > image008.png

The above should be dragged onto the top “empty” attribute (i.e. Panel A), move slowly to the left until “empty” turns black and then let go.

Now we need to set the following attributes, select the grid object in the treeview:

Attribute	Value	Explanation
LayoutPosition	a	Check that the layout position is the far left panel
BorderTitle	Sendungen	Value displayed in the Panel header
Enabled	Checked
FolderWindowToLaunch		This should represent the Form that is executed on record selection
showGridFilter	column-only
SUBTYPE	grid2

Define the links

Select the Links Icon to see the following screen:

Build.One Documentation > How to Create a Desktop Screen > image010.png

Now define the following links:

Build.One Documentation > How to Create a Desktop Screen > image011.png

Save and reopen the Desktop screen.

Adding VP panel:

Add SwatBusinessEntity (DSO):

Build.One Documentation > How to Create a Desktop Screen > image012.png

Drag over onto the second ‘empty’ attribute, move slowly to the left until “empty” turns black and then let go.

Now add the following attributes to the dStammeBE

Attribute	Value	Explanation
EntityName	eStamm
ForeignFields	stamm_id,stamm_id	Defines the linkage from the main Data Source to this Data Source
ResourceName	Osiv.BusinessLogic.istd.Stamm.StammBE
SUBTYPE	BE

Save and reopen the Desktop screen.

Now Add the Details (Overview Form)

Build.One Documentation > How to Create a Desktop Screen > image013.png

Build.One Documentation > How to Create a Desktop Screen > image014.png

Save and reopen the Desktop screen.
Also add SendungDSO with these settings:

Attribute	Value	Explanation
EntityName	eSendung	TempTableName
ForeignFields	Sendung_ID,Sendung_ID	Foreignkey of parent to child
ResourceName	Osiv.Sendung.SendungBE
SUBTYPE	BE

Now define the final set of links

Build.One Documentation > How to Create a Desktop Screen > image015.png

Test the current design:
Press: Ctrl-Shift-Alt L
Enter: SendungDesktop
Click: Open

Build.One Documentation > How to Create a Desktop Screen > image016.png

The new screen should look similar to:
