Previewing XUI page

Prerequisite

▪ You must configure your web browser before you can preview the XUI page.: see Configuring the web browser for previewing the XUI pages.

▪ You can preview the generated Web page without selecting the preview language every time by configuring default language settings. See Configuring default language settings for previewing an XUI page.

If you have configured these global settings, then you could preview the page without more settings. If not, follow the following steps.

Previewing an XUI page enables you to preview the layout of the page in a web browser. By using the preview function that is provided in the XUI editor, you can also check the ECA rules and input validations.

▪ The preview function enables you to preview only the ECA rules and input validations that do not require server access.

▪ If the XUI page contains errors, the preview page might also contain errors.
