Generating the layout XML file

You can convert your customized panels to Datacap Desktop panels. You must generate a layout XML file that contains the panel to convert and the name and location of the converted panel.

To generate the layout XML file:

1. Start the client for which you want to convert panels, Batch Pilot, or DotEdit.
2. Click File > Open Project.
3. Select the Verify project of the application and click Open. For example, \Datacap\Survey\dco_Survey\verify.bpp.
4. In the Batch View window, expand the application to the page level so that the pages are visible.
5. Right-click the page that you want to convert and choose View Form.
6. Click Form > Run Script.
7. Press Shift+Alt+S to run the script that exports the form information as a layout XML file.
8. Select the target location and specify the file name.
9. Click Open to generate the XML file.
