Selecting a form view in Developer Studio

Developer Studio selects the form view to display when you open a form based on the default view of the form and the Default Locale you set in the Preferences dialog box in Developer Studio (select Window > Preferences).

Every form has a default form view. If you do not set it (select Form > Set Default View), the default form view is the view that is created by when you initially create the form. If you delete the default form view, Developer Studio selects another view.

If you set the Default Locale, Developer Studio uses that locale to select the default form view.
