Improving forms

Now we can make some improvements to the user interface of the system. We will start with forms of the business objects that the system shows in various parts of the application.

After we have defined our objects AwareIM automatically created a form for each object to display its attributes. By default AwareIM puts all defined attributes on a form in a vertical fashion – one after the other. For many objects this default approach is acceptable. For other objects some improvements may be necessary. Most examples in this section will be performed with the forms of the Member object. Improvements to other objects’ forms will be similar.
