General design guidelines

The following are some more general guidelines for creating device- friendly custom databases for use with Pylon Pro.

■

■

Only one View and one Form per Pylon Pro database.

Each View may contain up to four columns (additional columns will be ignored by SmartDesigner).

■Each Form may contain up to 128 fields (additional fields will be ignored by SmartDesigner).

■Only non-hidden, editable fields will be copied to the Palm device Pylon Pro design.

■Help text is copied to the Palm device and displayed at the bottom of Pylon Pro’s Edit View screen.

■Time fields will be converted to Palm device Time fields if the format is set to Show Time. Otherwise, the field will be a date field.

■Only hard-coded keyword values are supported. Formulas will be ignored.

■Change the Keywords interface to Checkbox to enable checkboxes.
