5.1 Introduction to Development Tools

ADF Desktop Integration provides several tools that you use to configure Excel workbooks so that they can access Oracle ADF functionality. The tools are available in the Oracle ADF tab and in the ADF Desktop Integration Designer task pane. Before you start using the development tools, you must know that there are two modes in which you can work while you configure the Excel workbook that you integrate with a Fusion web application. The first mode is the design mode, and the second mode is the test mode. In design mode, you use the tools provided by Oracle ADF in Excel to design and configure your integrated Excel workbook. In test mode, you can view and test the changes you make in design mode in the same way that the end user views the published integrated Excel workbook.
