BPD (Best Practices Documentation)
BPD is a unique form that allows administrators to create documentation for each form.
There are 3 types of BPD Items:
Page
Applet
Tab
Also for a number of dynamic types such as Rules, Imports, Fields which are created automatically. A complete list can be found at the BPD_ITEM_TYPE table.
Documentation can be accessed via the Help icon, in the lower-left corner of the form. Users with privileges on "ADMIN_BPDOC_ITEM" Security Group may modify the documentation.
Documentation is accessed based on Form Number. These are assigned by OneVizion Developers for every new Grid, Form or Tab (Page, Applet, TAB BPD Item Types). It is important to assign correct form numbers to prevent issues with the documentation.
