Building SmartDataBrowsers

In this section, you use the SmartDataBrowser Wizard to create the SDB, bordlne, which is similar to the SDB, bordlne2, in the Order Tracking System. Like the SmartDataObject Wizard and the SmartDataViewer Wizard, the SmartDataBrowser Wizard guides you through the steps necessary to create a SDB, giving you information about each step in the process. The SmartDataBrowser Wizard also allows you, at any point, to go back and modify the work you did in previous steps.

In the main window of the SportsPro Order Tracking System, bordlne2 identifies and retrieves an Order Line record based on end-user input, and sends the record to other SmartObjects that require Order Line information to perform their functions.

The following short procedure outlines the steps in building the SDB:

  1. Start the SmartDataBrowser Wizard.
