Specify a Data Model
On the Specify A Data Model screen in the New Guide wizard,
provide the data model information. The model can be an application
model (FML), or it can be an XDP or PDF form created in Designer.
If the model includes a complex service, such as Amazon Web Services™, select the Generate Fully Qualified Package
Name References option, so that the model compiles. Open the Data
Model perspective and select Window > Show View > Properties.
In the editor, click the background to display the model properties, and
then select the Generate Fully Qualified Package Name References
option.
When you use the wizard to create a Guide, select the data model
and the root entity to base the Guide on. The selected root entity
and its contents appear in the Data Model view.
Data Model Selection:

Enter or select an asset:
-
Specifies the application model file (FML), XDP form, or
PDF form to associate with the Guide. You can select a file from
the list or type the path to the data model. The list displays only
FML, XDP, or PDF files. If you select an XDP or PDF form, the Start
With The Selected Guide option becomes available.
-

Lists the models on your local file system.
-
Remote:

in to.
Entity Selection:
Specifies the root node in the data model that
the Guide is based on.
-
Data Model Root Node:
-
Specifies the entities or the subform that you can select
as the root node. When the data model is an XDP or PDF form, this
option lists the root subform in the form. The root subform becomes
the root entity in the Data Model view. When the data model is an
application model, this option lists the entities that are defined
as persistent. If the model includes several persistent entities,
select the entity to use as the root for the model that is associated
with the Guide. The contents of the root entity appear in the Data Model
view, where you can drag them onto the editor or the Guide Tree
view.
-
Use a precompiled data model:

The model can be customized by modifying the generated source
code, and then precompiled as a SWF file. The list displays any SWF
files in your LiveCycle application.

edit it in Workbench. If the form includes several Guides, select
the one that you want to use.

Style Selection
On the Style Selection screen in the New Guide wizard,
specify a custom style for the Guide. Using a custom style enables
you to apply a new look and feel to the Guide.
If you do not want to use a custom style, leave the options blank
and click Finish. Workbench applies a default style to the Guide.
-
Select a custom style:
-
Lists the available style files that you can apply to your Guide.
The list displays any SWF files in your LiveCycle application.
-
Import the associated style:
-
If the Guide is embedded in an XDP or PDF form created in
Designer ES (version 8.x), and it uses a custom style, you can import that
style into your LiveCycle application. In Designer ES (version 8.x),
the custom style was in SWC format. When the style is imported,
the SWC file is migrated to the SWF format. If the style migration
is unsuccessful, the Guide uses the default style that is associated
with the layout.
-
Enter or select the parent folder:
-
The folder within your LiveCycle application where the imported
style is saved. If necessary, click New Folder to create a folder within
the LiveCycle application.
