The Web Client container is enabled for new Axiom forms by default. All new forms will automatically have access to this container unless you disable it.
The container, if enabled, only displays in the Web Client (any supported browser) and in the iPad app. It does not display when a form is viewed within the Desktop Client (Excel Client or Windows Client). Therefore, if you preview a form within the Desktop Client, the container will not display. If you want to see what the form will look like with the container, you must preview the form in the browser (click Forms > Preview Form in Browser from the File Options group in the Axiom ribbon tab).
If the container is enabled but the form is opened in an environment that does not support the container, then the container simply does not display on the form. It is not necessary to disable the setting in order for the form to display properly.
NOTE: The ability to disable the Web Client container is provided for backward-compatibility only, so that customers using version 8.2 or earlier can continue to operate "as is" after upgrading. It is intended that these customers will eventually migrate to using the container in conjunction with other enhanced form features.
To enable or disable the Web Client container for a form:
- From the top of the Form Assistant task pane or the Form Designer dialog, click Edit form properties.
- In the Form Properties dialog, select or clear the Use Web Client Container check box. By default this setting is enabled for new forms.
TIP: You can also enable or disable this setting by editing the Use Web Client Container field at the top of the Form Control Sheet.
Generally speaking, the container should be enabled for all forms that will be viewed in the Web Client, or none of them. Having the container appear and disappear depending on the currently open form may be a confusing experience for end users.
