Tablename

Oracle table name of the current feature class.

Alias = caption for the oracle table (as defined in Infrastructure Administrator).

Title

Defines the title to be shown in the forms title bar.

Note:

By default the title of a form corresponds to the title set in Infrastructure Administrator.

Toolbar

Assigns a special toolbar to the form. Usually you will define tool bars for the different types of tables, such as feature class, domain and so on. For example, a domain table toolbar does not need any tools concerning graphic connection. Therefore you need to define only a single toolbar for a group of forms.

Select a toolbar from the Toolbar box.

Startup SortOrder

The order in which features are listed, such as according to point number or according to FID.

Help

Assigns a Help topic to the form.

Note: You can also assign Help topics to each control of the form. See also Form Designer: General Control Properties

Filename

For AutoCAD Map 3D toolset Help: Enter any help file (*.chm, *.hlp or any Windows document). The files must be located in the directory <AutoCAD Map 3D>\Help or in a subdirectory of this. Always set the filename without the directory name.

If you specify a (*.chm) help file, you can specify a topic ID in the Context property.

Context

For AutoCAD Map 3D toolset and Infrastructure Administrator help: Context ID or URL of the Help topic, as for example application_introduction.htm.

Example: topic.htm#bookmarkname or topic.htm.

Note: If you leave the URL empty, this context is also used for the Infrastructure Application Extension Help. In this case the location will be <infrastructure_application_extension>/help/context.

Url

For the Infrastructure Application Extension Help: URL of the Help topic, as for example index-web.html. Default folder is <infrastructure_application_extension>\help.

Example: To use a file in a subfolder of the default directory, you have to specify the file starting with the subfolder name, as for example customized/help.html.

Note: Without the “http://” the files are searched on the Infrastructure Map server.
