When one database item references another database item, you can display the Form of the referenced item by:

• Selecting the 'Go To' link next to the reference field in which the item is specified on another item's configuration Form.

  Example:

  

or:

1. Use the Display References pick action to display the list of references for the item (see Displaying a Database Item’s References).
2. Expand the entries in the Display References window as required.

   A context-sensitive menu is displayed.
4. Select the Edit Properties option.
   The item's Form is displayed.

With a ViewX client on a Multi-Monitor Setup, you may be able to select the name of the Window Container in which to display or edit a document. Each Window Container displays on a particular monitor by default. Such options are only available when you select certain Display... or Edit... pick actions from the Database Bar or Operator Documents Bar. For more information, see Ability to Specify the Window Container in which to Display or Edit a Document.

Each Form has a series tabs that contain fields for particular aspects of the configuration (see Fields on Forms). Any messages relating to incomplete, incorrect, or conflicting configuration are displayed in a message area directly below the Form (see Mandatory Configuration and Invalid Configuration Messages).

Use the information within the core configuration guides and the appropriate driver-specific guide to help you configure the items in your database.
