Creating Paged Layouts
Every Smart organizer (SmartWindow, SmartFrame, or SmartDialog) allows you to partition sets of SmartObjects into logical pages. You can choose to represent these logical pages by separate windows, or by re-using (multiplexing) one or more areas of a single window. The number of different visual effects you can achieve by various combinations of arrangement and object choice is nearly unbounded.
In addition, AppBuilder offers a dedicated paging object: the SmartFolder. The SmartFolder implements the popular tabbed-file-folder metaphor, an industry-standard way to multiplex screen space and control the display of your logical pages.
By designing wisely with ADM paging, you can reduce the experience of visual and conceptual clutter, make better use of limited display space, and improve the usability of your applications.
