__TOC__

=Objects Explained=
The Subscribe-HR System is an object orientated system. Every page is an object.
<br>
If we were wanting to create a new page we would be creating a new object in the system.
<br>
<br>
The same rules apply when we are locating a page to modify it through the Development Tool. The Object we would be searching for is the exact name of the page.
<br>
<i><b>Example:</b> If I want to add an element to the Employee Medical form, guess what. The Object i am looking for is 'Employee Medical'.</i>
<br>
For more details see [[Creating-new-objects-in-Subscribe-HR|Creating New Objects]].
<br>

=Elements Explained=
An element could best be explained as an item on a page such as a text box, drop down, option box, or button. This is exactly what we create when we select create element.
<br>
For more details see [[Creating-new-elements-in-Subscribe-HR|Creating New Elements]].
<br>

=Layouts Explained=
The Layout is what defines what elements appear and their position on the page.
<br>
You are required to have an Object and Elements created before you can use the Layout.
<br>
Once you have the Object and Elements created, you simply drag the elements from the fields list onto the page and position them. Save the Layout and you are done.
<br>
For more details see [[Modifying-screen-layouts-in-Subscribe-HR|Modifying Layouts]].

=Changing the Sort Order of fields on the Search=
# After logging into the Subscribe-HR portal, navigate to the <b>Development</b> TAB.
# Select the <b>Objects</b> Folder.
# Select the object that you wish to modify.<br><i><b>Example:</b> If you are modifying the order of fields on the Employee Property screen then search for <b>Employee Property</b> in the objects search.</i>
# Select the <b>Layout</b> SubFolder
Elements that have been created and flagged with <b>Display on Search Results</b> will appear on the search form of the object. But when they appear they will appear in natural order.
<br>
The <b>Search Fields Display Order</b> section under the Layout SubFolder allows the user to customise the order / position that the field appears on the search form.
<br>
By selecting the <b>Layout</b> SubFolder we can see the <b>Search Fields Display Order</b> section.<br>
The Search Fields Display Order section is automatically populated with any elements (fields) that are flagged with Display on Search Results.
# To change the order that the elements appear in simply drag the desired element into position.
# Select [Save Layout].
The first element in the list will appear as the first on the search form from the left.
