Chapter 2-5: Work Fields |
Text Work Fields A text work field allows a user to enter a block of text on the data entry screen. The text work field overlay, shown below, allows you to add text specific attributes to those already defined for work fields. The text work field specifications overlay displays after you complete the entries on the work fields screen if the work Field Type you select is TEXT.
Text Work Field Overlay The Text Work field Specifications overlay contains the following fields: Length designates the number of character positions, or length, of this field. Default Rows/Cols determines the default number of rows and columns to be used when specifying a field on an image. Descriptive provides a longer, more easily understood alternative to Domain Name, one that is not required to be unique within an application. If blank at all default levels, Domain Name is used. Col Headings designates up to two lines of column heading text. The APPX output process facility uses this text to generate standard column heading images for Start of Page and Start of Range class frames. For cosmetic reasons, the length of headings should not exceed the length of a domain itself. Refer to Standard Column Heading Image for additional information. For Text work field type, the following option is available as described in the corresponding section: |
