Creating panels

You can place a panel anywhere on a form outside of a panel holder, or you can add panels to a panel holder.

To create a panel

1. Open the form to which you want to add a panel.
2. In the palette, select Panel, drag to the form, and release the mouse where you want the panel to appear.

To set properties for a panel

1. Select the panel.
2. On the Properties tab, edit the Label value if necessary.

   Note

   If you do not save the form after adding a panel, the label value also becomes the field's database name (Name property).

3. To specify a custom database ID, modify the ID property before saving the panel.
4. Set permissions for the panel.

   Note

   Users must have permission to view or change the fields in a panel. See Panel field permissions properties.

5. Set other panel properties as needed:
   • Field properties — See Field properties This section provides brief descriptions of field properties for all BMC Remedy AR System forms. The properties are listed in alphabetical order.
   • Background mode — See Background Mode setting in panel holders.
   • Color options — See Setting color options for panels and panel headers.
   • Images in panels — See Adding an image to a panel.
   • Rounded corners — See Applying rounded corners to a panel.
