Modifying a Form on a Table
The APEX wizards do handle most of the work of creating a form for you. However,
it's rare that you won't have to make some minor changes to what the wizard creates.
Now that you have the Create aTickets form on page 2, you can make a few changes to
polish it up a bit.
Changing the Label Templates
You'll change the label templates for P2_SUBJECT and P2_CREATED_BY (the items
that correspond to the
SUBJECT
and
CREATED_BY
table columns) to Required with
Help. Use of the Required with Help label template indicates to the end user that this is
a required field on the form. However, it doesn't make the field itself mandatory. You
do that later.
You'll also reduce the width of P2_CREATED_BY so it doesn't take up as much
space. Begin as follows:
1.
