Screen component
Section titled “Screen component”Use the Screen component to embed one screen inside another screen.
This is commonly used when a parent screen needs to reuse an include screen, such as embedding PurchaseRequestInclude inside a create, update, review, or approval screen.
When you add a Screen component, configure its Screen property to point to the screen you want to embed.
| Property | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Screen | Selects the screen to embed inside the current screen. |
| Flex | Controls how the embedded screen behaves inside flexible layouts. |
| Fill parent | Controls whether the embedded screen fills the available parent container. |

Use the Screen component when you want to reuse an existing screen instead of rebuilding the same UI in multiple places.
