Migrating a form view and its associated fields

When a field is added to view overlay by using the Add Field To View Overlay menu item, a field ID is assigned to it. When a view is selected for migration, AR System searches for all of the fields with display properties for that view. AR System then migrates that view and its associated fields to the destination form. It checks each field on the destination form and takes the appropriate action:

• If the field exists on the destination, AR System extracts the display properties from the destination field for all views except the view being migrated.
• It merges these display properties into the source field and compares the properties of the source field with those of the destination field.
• If the field does not exist on the destination, AR System recreates the field, and verifies that the field includes only the display properties of the field being migrated.
• Finally, AR System creates or modifies the field on the destination by using the new merged source field.
• If the field exists on the destination, AR System extracts from the destination field the display properties for all views except the view being migrated.

This process is repeated for each field in the view. AR System migrates any new values for the object properties in a view overlay form. All types of migration is supported for a view overlay form.

AR System does not remove field and view overlays from the destination server after migration, even if you remove the field and view overlays from the source server.
