To view the custom panel in Taskmaster DotEdit, rebuild the solution
in Microsoft Visual Studio
and configure the Verify task in the Taskmaster Web client.
- In Visual Studio, click Build > Rebuild
Solution to rebuild DotEditPanels.dll. If you are prompted to save the .sln file,
save the file before proceeding.
- Open the folder C:\Datacap\DotEdit and
confirm that the time stamp on DotEditPanels.dll is
correct for the new version.
If you do not see the new
DLL, confirm that you specified the correct project output path (see Configuring the project output path in Visual
Studio). If necessary, you can copy the DLL from the default
output path (My Documents\Datacap\DotEditPanels\bin\Debug).
- Start the Taskmaster Web client,
select the TravelDocs application, and log
in with the Admin credentials.
- Select the Administrator tab and
click Workflow.
- Expand the Main job, click the Verify task,
confirm that Program is DotEdit under
Parameters, and click Setup.
- In the Verify.set.xml Webpage Dialog window,
go to the DotEdit section.
- Under the Bind DCO Type to Panel heading,
complete these steps.
- Enter the name of the page type and the name of the
C# class (.cs file) that you generated for that
page type. For example, you can enter Rental_Agreement as
the page type, and Custom_TravelDocsPage as
the name of the custom panel.
- Repeat Step 7a for each of the TravelDocs page types
(Optional_Insurance, Air_Ticket,
or others) for which you generated a .cs file.
Tip: You can bind all of your page types to the
same custom panel so that DotEdit uses the custom panel for all pages
by default. To do so, enter Default as the
page type, and enter the name of the custom panel (the C# class that
you generated). Using a custom panel as the default interface is useful
for applications that contain a large quantity of page types with
the same fields.
- Click Save.
- Start DotEdit.exe.
- Log in as before and then click Start.
- Click OK to run the next pending
batch and view the new custom panel.
Tip: If Taskmaster DotEdit displays a table that
includes a batch with a Status of hold,
double-click the task row to start the Verify task.
