What does each PCF editor convention mean?
a) A container widget shaded light blue
b) a light green line
c) a red background - a) container widget is referenced by the current PCF file and
its contents are contained in another file
b) for currently selected widget tool, a new widget of that type will be placed in the
current location
c) the PCF file has an error in it
How do you deploy PCF changes? - Navigate to UI and hit Alt + Shift + L OR you
can restart the server OR you can log in as admin and reload files from Internal
Tools Reload page.
What must you specify in a widget's "value" property? - You must specify the field in
the data model that the widget is bound to.
When would you see the keyword "as" in the value property? - When the

one of the subtype levels.
What is a display key? - It is an abstract display value referenced by a widget's
