Previewing XForms

This topic describes the procedure to preview an XForm.

When designing an XForm, you can preview and test your changes. An XForm that is opened using the Preview feature demonstrates run-time behavior. You can use this feature to retrieve and view data, and analyze the XForm's functionality.

While previewing an XForm, you cannot view its translated version. Translated versions of XForms are available for viewing only at run time.
Also, you cannot view startup data in the preview of an XForm. Startup data is available only at run time, after you save the XForm and add it to the menu.

1. Open the XForm in the XForms Designer.
2. Click on the toolbar. Alternatively, right-click the XForm in the Workspace Documents window and select Show Preview from the content menu. The <XForm name> - Publish to Organization dialog box appears and the XForm is published.

The Preview window appears, displaying a preview of the selected XForm.
