General design guidelines
The following are some more general guidelines for creating device-
friendly custom databases for use with Pylon Pro.
■
Only one View and one Form per Pylon Pro database.
■
Each View may contain up to four columns (additional columns will
be ignored by SmartDesigner).
■
Each Form may contain up to 128 fields (additional fields will be
ignored by SmartDesigner).
■
Only non-hidden, editable fields will be copied to the Palm device
Pylon Pro design.
■
Help text is copied to the Palm device and displayed at the bottom
of Pylon Pro’s Edit View screen.
■
Time fields will be converted to Palm device Time fields if the
format is set to Show Time. Otherwise, the field will be a date field.
■
Only hard-coded keyword values are supported. Formulas will be
ignored.
■
Change the Keywords interface to Checkbox to enable checkboxes.
