XMLports can also have a Request Page to allow the user to enter Option control information and filter the data being processed. Default filter fields that will appear on the Request Page are defined in the Properties form for the table XMLport Line.

Any desired options that are to be available to the user as part of the Request Page must be defined in the RequestOptionsPageDesigner. This Designer is accessed from the XMLport Designer through View | Request Page. The definition of the contents and layout of the Request Options Page is done essentially the same way as other pages are done. As with any other filter setup screen, the user has complete control of what fields are used for filtering and what filters are applied.
