TASK: Understand useAttributesOrder property

In this task you will understand the purpose of the useAttributesOrder property and how it affects the objectUI dialog boxes.

In this example we choose the Edit workstate dialog box in the EdAdmin4 application, defined in the EdAdmin4_Config.xml configuration file.

You will be able to perform this task only if:

•You already opened the edadmin4_config.xml file as explained in TASK: Open for editing one or more files with objectUI elements and ordered the view as explained in TASK: Display an ordered view of objectUI elements. If not so, return to those tasks and perform them first, and then return here.

1.Locate in the code the line:

<objectUI name="editWorkstate" useAttributesOrder="true">

2.and then just simple delete the property useAttributesOrder="true" making sure you do not change anything else.

3.The line looks like now as:

<objectUI name="editWorkstate" >

4.Now, save changes and import them in the database as explained in TASK: Save changes and import them in database.

5.Then, carry on the TASK: Review configuration changes in the application.
