Overview

View commands are simple executable tasks delivered as a part of Web Central. In the AXVW, view commands are defined as XML elements nested within a user interface control, such as button or link. View commands can:

• Automate forms: save user changes, create or delete data records
• Show, hide or refresh view panels
• Navigate between views: select tab pages, open or close dialog windows
• Invoke workflow rules that implement business logic.

View commands are by far the easiest way to implement interactive applications, as they let Web Central do most of the work and can be used without JavaScript knowledge. The alternative to view commands is Java Script event handlers, which can be used to implement advanced application tasks.
