Create a Viewport
You can create a new viewport and place fields in it, or you can select an existing single field, composite field, or a set of fields. Workbench automatically creates a flexible form that contains the fields you have selected. The viewport then contains a single composite field, the new flexible form field.
To create a new viewport
1. Open your frame in the Frame Editor (see Open an Existing Frame).
2. Click Insert, Field, Viewport Field.
3. Position and size the field on the form.
4. Set the properties for the viewport.
Note:  For complete descriptions of each field property, see Viewport Properties and Common Field Properties.
5. Add fields to the viewport.
To create a viewport for an existing image field
1. Open your frame in the Frame Editor (see Open an Existing Frame).
2. Select the image field.
Note:  For information about selecting fields, see How You Can Select Fields.
3. Click Group, Viewport.
The image field is then enclosed within a viewport field.
4. Set the properties for the viewport.
Note:  For complete descriptions of each field property, see Viewport Properties and Common Field Properties.
