Create a Silverlight form for web-based content

This procedure is an example of how to create a Silverlight form for use with web-based content.

Procedure

  1. In the navigator, click Global Displays > Forms.
  2. Click Add Form.
  3. In the Name and Description fields, enter a name and description for the resource.
  4. Click OK.
  5. In the Displays panel, click Display Editor.
  6. On the Overview tab, select the Use the Designer tab to create web content option.
  7. Click Save.
  8. Click the Designer tab.
  9. If this is the first time the fragment has been opened in the Designer, enter a name for the project in the New Project dialog box.
    Note: Naming conventions for Silverlight projects are the same as those for WPF displays and forms. Project names can contain only letters, numbers, or underscores.
  10. Click OK to create the project.
  11. After adding the required components to the form, click Save.

What to do next

Note: If multiple users are saving Silverlight forms at the same time, the Feedback Zone may display a message indicating that the form failed to build, even though the build process is actually ongoing. In this scenario, the client log file (found at <installdir>\Proficy\Logs\ProficyClient.log) includes an entry reading ERROR: [HttpRequestTimedOutWithoutDetail. As a result, to save new changes to the form, reload it in one of the following ways.
  • In the Displays panel, select Global Viewer, and then select Display Editor

    Or

  • In the navigator, select another form, and then select the form again.
