Identifying data pages with the Live Data tool

Updated on April 6, 2022

Use the Live Data tool to view information about the data pages that make up your screen. By learning the details of the data pages in your UI, you can understand how a UI element works to develop a similar feature or to fix a bug.

You can quickly find sections that are sourced by data pages and get more information about them, such as when the system last loaded the data page or which parameters the data page accepts.
  1. In the header of Dev Studio, in the Launch portal menu, click the name of your portal.
    For more information about other ways in which to access the Live Data tool and the required privileges, see Enabling run-time branching and editing.
  2. On the landing page of the portal, click Toggle runtime toolbarToggle Live Data.
  3. Hover your cursor over the UI element in your application that you want to inspect.
    Result: The tool highlights the element with a box. The data page from which the element is sourced is displayed, as shown in the following figure:
