Custom Views

Custom Views allow you to quickly create views in the UI for any entity in the system. This includes system entities, custom entities and entities you have created with AddIns using our API as all entities whether system or designed are the same. You can use your custom view in any custom layouts or override system views with your own view.

---

Code

The Auto-Code designer will export the following:

• The definition of the view itself
  • You can modify any part of this class
• The list of all controls in the view along with any custom behaviour/formatting.
  • You can modify this control list

Note

See our API-Code section for more information about using our API to create you own views and other UI components.

Example

As a simple example, continuing our Insurance Contract mock entity from the Custom Entity example more info we could create a simple view that holds the name, currency and description of our mock insurance contracts. The system would create the following code for us:
