•
Label: Title: Title:
•
Label: Employee’s ID: Employee’s ID:
4

Start by creating the Manager First Name Bean Text Field view. Still in the view editor, click Add.
2

Defining the Grid Layout

To create the Grid Layout for the data collection fields:
•
Still in the view editor, create a Grid Layout view using the following values.

* 
IMPORTANT: The manager key is the only required context input.
This tutorial demonstrates the reduction in the number of context-required entries by using Bean Input components. Without them, context keys are required for all the fields in the Company structure. If this were a real application, with perhaps dozens of fields, the saving in overhead would be much greater.

The settings for Last Name are similar to those of First Name, but these values are placed in row 1.
