WAM085 - Enhancing the User Interface
This WAM will use the new fields that you have just created. It will also build on the previous exercise, by enabling session management and saving a working list of each set of data entered.
This WAM will operate as follows:
- Executes WebRoutine begin to start session management and transfers to the select WebRoutine.
