====== How to set up custom form layout ======

If you want references of the object to be displayed not on tabs inside the form of the object but as separate panels altogether you can use the ''[[a_f:a:display_layout|DISPLAY LAYOUT]]'' action. 

To use the ''[[a_f:a:display_layout|DISPLAY LAYOUT]]'' action to provide custom layout of attributes and references do the following:

  - Define a process that would show the form of the object (the object should be passed as process input), for example,<code aim>VIEW MyObject</code>
  - Define queries that would show references of the object (the queries should assume that the object is in the context, for example:<code aim>FIND MyReference WHERE MyReference IN MyObject.References</code>
  - Define a visual perspective with a single tab inside the main frame
  - Define content panels of this tab to show a form of the object in one content panel and references of the object in the other content panels. The panel showing the form should use the process defined in 1.; and panels for references should use queries defined in 2.
  - Define a process that would display the layout:<code aim>FIND MyObject WHERE …
DISPLAY LAYOUT MyTab FROM_VP MyPerspective</code>
