RAMP-TSAD04: Redesigning the Screen Using aXes

You can use the aXes Designer to freely redesign your 5250 screens. You can move and hide content, change labels, apply styles and use visual elements such as lines and group boxes.

Using aXes eXtensions, you can also display your content as drop-downs, calendar drop-downs, check boxes or radio buttons and add new elements such as buttons, images, tooltips, hyperlinks and Google maps.

You will notice that what you can do with aXes eXtensions partly overlaps with what you can do with, for example, special field handlers. It is up to you which of these approaches you adopt to enhance your screens.
