Chapter 2-4: Files and Fields

Token Fields Additional Attributes

From the Token field overlay, you have an Additional Attributes option. The Token field Additional Attributes overlay is shown below.

Token Field Additional Attributes Overlay

The Token Field Additional Attributes Overlay contains the following fields:

Default Value establishes a modifiable starting value for all image items whenever they are first displayed in add mode in an input image, unless modified by a user. If blank, there is no starting value displayed on the image.

Range Checks defines a series of allowable values that APPX uses for online data validation. The first component represents the relation. The options are EQ (equal to), NE (not equal to), GT (greater than), LT (less than), GE (greater than or equal to), and LE (less than or equal to). The second component represents the value that is assigned to the relation. If you enter two relations, APPX infers an AND relationship.

Occurrence determines the number of times a field is present in a record. If blank, APPX assumes a value of 1. This field may contain up to five numeric characters and is restricted to a maximum of 32,767. See the Occurrence section for a more comprehensive discussion of this field.

Translate? indicates if the value of the field should be translated into a designated language if APPX's Language Translation feature is being used. Since this option does not require a validation table for a work field (unlike a file field), it is the designer's responsibility to ensure that a translatable work field without a validation table is read only. Click the checkbox to toggle between 'yes' , 'no' , and unknown (Y, N, or blank using Character Mode) values. If the translation feature is not in use, retain the default value of (blank using Character Mode).
