This section outlines features that were introduced in EPC 831 version RAMP:
Dynamic Naming of Newlook screens and fields
It is no longer necessary to use Newlook Designer to identify the relevant screens and fields to Newlook prior to using the RAMP tools. Instead you can use Dynamic Naming of Newlook Screens and Fields from within the RAMP tools environment.
Note that newlook licensing features may limit the use of this option in some RAMP environments. Please contact your product vendor for further information.

Up until now, when the size of a Destination screen exceeded the size of its container no scroll bars were shown and part of the Destination screen was hidden. The only option for users to see the hidden part was to resize the command and/or the entire browser container.
Now scroll bars are automatically shown.
