Card pages

Card pages display one record at a time. These are generally used for the entry or display of individual table records. Examples of frequently accessed card pages include Customer Card for customer data, Item Card for inventory items, and G/L Account Card for general ledger accounts.

Card pages have FastTabs (a FastTab consists of a group of controls with each tab focusing on a different set of related customer data). FastTabs can be expanded or collapsed dynamically, allowing the data visible at any time to be controlled by the user. Important data elements can be promoted to be visible even when a FastTab is collapsed.

Card pages for master records display all the required data entry fields. If a field is set to ShowMandatory (a control property we will discuss in Chapter 4, Pages - the Interactive Interface), a red asterisk will display until the field is filled. Typically, card pages also display FactBoxes containing summary data about related activity. Thus cards can be used as the primary inquiry point for master records. The following screenshot is a sample of a standard Customer Card:
