The Construct built-in ispec and event method sets up the ispec or event before it is ready to accept input (for ispecs with a user interface, this corresponds with its display to the application client).
Refer to Segment cycle for more information on the role of the Construct method in transaction processing.
The Construct method can be used for reasons such as the pre-filling of user interface fields, or security checking.
Note: This built-in method can be overridden however you cannot change its Visibility property.
