Custom Tab Area
The Custom tab is like a favorite's area for the current designer. Adding control templates to or removing them from the Custom tab is not the same as adding or removing control templates. This removes the templates from the currently logged in designer's favorites. There could be 100's of control templates published by designers in a given tenant, but only 10 of them have been added to by the designer to his/her Custom tab favorites. Note: each individual designer will have their own Custom tab with their own set of avorite control templates.
Template Types
There are two types of control templates that you can create in frevvo – modifiable templates and read-only templates. In some cases may you want to publish a control template and allow them to be completely modified when used in other forms. These modifiable control templates are basically a starting point to a sightly or entirely different control at the discretion of the designer using it. Note that by changing the name of a control, you may break rules published with the control. In other cases, you may want to publish read-only control templates. A designer using a read-only control will not be able to remove nested controls nor change any properties that affect the underlying data binding (e.g., the name property). The designer can still change other UI-related properties such as styles and labels, and rearrange any nested controls on read-only templates.

In general, if you have rules associated with the control or it is essential to guarantee a consistent XML binding, then you want to publish your controls as read-only. |
