WinStudio customizations can affect all areas of the client tier:
All customizations are stored in the forms database. Forms and global objects can be customized for one user, for a group of users, or for all users. As a result, the forms database can include more than one version of the same form or global object.
Basic WinStudio customizations are simple changes to forms and components that do not affect functionality. Users with Basic editing permissions can make only the following changes:
| Components | Forms |
| Captions
Default Values Dimensions (size, position) Show or Hide Read Only/Disabled No Clear on New Default on Copy Upper or Lower Case |
Captions
Dimensions (size)* Splitter settings* Grid column sequence* Grid column width* Grid column visibility*
|
NOTE: *These changes can be made by any end user, regardless of editing permissions, without the system having to save a full User-scope version of the form. If you have set your User Preferences to prompt you to save form, splitter, and grid changes, WinStudio prompts you when closing the form after making such changes. Otherwise, the changes are saved without prompting.
You should be aware, too, that system administrators can override the ability to save run-time form changes like this with the Allow saving form runtime changes process default.
Changes other than Basic changes can affect functionality and are referred to as Major changes. Developers with Full User or Site Developer editing permissions can make Basic changes as well as the more extensive, Major customizations.
