To create a page:

1. In the Screen Manager module, select the relevant module from the Modules drop-down in the Pages panel.

   

2. Click the Add Page button in the Page group on the System Configuration Commands ribbon.

   Note: You can also click the Copy Page button, but this is not recommended, as copied pages do not automatically display future changes to ebs. It is recommended that you inherit an existing page instead.

   

   The Page Controls, Page Details and Page Inheritance panels are displayed.

   

3. Enter the relevant details in the Page Details panel.

The fields in the Page Details panel are described in the following table:

This field	Holds this information...
Id	The page ID.
Version	The version number of the page. The number is divided into the following parts: The first digit represents the release version that the page was created in The second digit is reserved for pages created by ebs development and increases as amendments are made The third digit is reserved for pages created by local users and increase as amendments are made For example: a version number of 29.1.0 means the page was created in version 29 of ebs (4.29) by Tribal rather than ebs and has not been updated.
Status	The status of the page.
Inherited Page Config	The Page Config the new page will inherit from.
Screen Name	The name that identifies the Page Config. If this page is to inherit from another, it must share the same Screen Name (for example: if you want to inherit from the LearnerDetails page, the screen name for the new page must also be LearnerDetails).
Title	The title of the page.
Header	The header text that is to be displayed at the top of the page.
Footer	The footer text that is to be displayed at the bottom of the page.
Created By	The user that created the page.
