XPages contain the text and user interface (UI) controls that users interact with while working with application pages. You can design the look and functionality of pages, and set properties for the entire page as well as for each of the individual design elements that you add to the page.

You can create a data source for each page, and also for each panel within a page. Data sources define how user data entered into the page or panel is stored, and how stored data is displayed.

Using simple actions logic, you can specify what a page does when a user interacts with it. For example, the page can create a new document to contain user data, it can create a response document, or it can display data from an existing document. For more information, see the Simple actions topic.

For complete information on using XPages in Domino Designer, refer to the Lotus Domino Designer XPages and Eclipse User Guide shipped with this product as an Eclipse help plugin.
