GX:QC Forms Designer

QC Results Forms Designer - Introduction

This section describes how to use the QC Results Forms Designer screen found inside Whistle Studio GX. The Forms Designer screen is used to build data collection screens for the QC Results system. It is the same tool we at Coolearth use to develop QC Results screens for our clients. Building forms for the most part is fairly straightforward and requires a basic grasp of the CoolScript scripting language and how it interacts with the various different types of controls and their properties/methods. Each control and its available set of properties and methods is described in the following sections.

Launching the Forms Designer Tool

The Forms Designer tool lives inside Coolearth Studio GX. To access it, the user you log in with will need to be assigned the SD QC FORMS DESIGN permission. This can be done using the User Configuration Tool found under the 'Security' Studio tab.

Once your user has this permission, a screen button named 'QC Forms Designer' will appear under the 'QC Results' Studio tab.

Click this button to launch a new instance of the QC Forms Designer screen. It is possible and sometimes useful to run multiple instances of this screen at once (when copying CoolScript between two different projects for instance).
