CGI Advantage pages display many different types of data to users. Often, many of these pages are referred to as tables/reference pages/inquiries. In most cases, a page displays data from one database table. However, there are cases where a page can show multiple database tables, just one record from a database table, or display information that does not come from a database table. In other instances, there are multiple pages that show different aspects of records in a single database table. Please keep in mind the interchangeability of the terms page and table when reading other documentation. For purposes of this user guide, pages are all presentations to a user besides those of a transaction.
Pages are referred to in two different ways. The first is by the Page Description. The second is by the Page Code. Both values are established on the Application Page Registration (APGS) page. As indicated in the previous sentence, the description is given first, followed by the Page Code in parenthesis. Almost every page in the application can be referred to this way, with only a very limited number of exceptions.
