Generating Dynasite source

At the end of an editing session, the updated Dynasite source must be generated for the form(s) you have edited. When you restart the app, the system looks for any form id's listed in FormChanges.xml and renders the files for that form. You may manually generate files for all forms by clicking "Generate Dynasite Source" from the Admin page. This creates the source, sql, and XML files used to render forms and save records.

See the Updating the Application page for more info.

The rest of this page describes a scenario concerning form previews not working; that rarely happens. You may skip the following section.

Manually Generating Dynasite Source

Often you can preview a form before the end of your session: If you have added form fields to the form, you usually just need to click the "Preview form" link. Sometimes Struts does not comply; therefore, you must generate Dynasite source.

Here's a screenshot of the links for Dynasite file generation:

It usually takes 30-60 seconds to generate the source and struts XML files; therefore, I usually add all of the form fields, generate source, then preview and make visual changes.
