Screen Designer

An administrator uses Screen Designer to customize tabs, fields, and grids and set field security in hubs and the chart of accounts and add new hubs.

Screen Designer options in the browser application and desktop application are similar but have key differences.

Screen Designer in the Browser Application

In Screen Designer in the browser application, you:

• Manage the layout of the screens in a hub, such as the tab order, field and grid placement on a tab, and so on.
• Set field-level security for hub fields, such as hiding and locking fields.
• Add user-defined tabs, fields, and grids to hubs.
• Add user-defined hubs.

Screen Designer in the Desktop Application

In the desktop application, you use Screen Designer in conjunction with User Defined Components. In User Defined Components, you add new tabs, fields, and grids to hubs. In Screen Designer, you manage the layout for fields, grids, and tabs and set field security. Screen Designer and User Defined Components in the desktop application apply only for the Projects and Equipment hubs.
