Database Field Properties - Format Tab

Access this tab using Reports>Forms Designer>OK button>Insert Database Field> Properties.

Use this tab to format and align the text on the layout.

Format: Select how the box is formatted. For example, for four places after the decimal, select the 0.0000 format. If Default is selected as the format, current fields follow the formatting that was set up by the Administrator on the Organization>Currency Setup form. Note that the Units Currency Text formatting option is available by selecting Document Amount for all templates relating to A/P Checks and Vouchers, and Write Checks.

Alignment: Select where the characters appear in the box.

• Horizontal: The system left-aligns, centers, or right-aligns the characters within the box, depending on which option is selected.
• Vertical: The system places the characters at the top, center, or bottom of the box, depending on which option is selected. Vertical alignment only applies to unwrapped text. If the "Wrap Text" check box is selected, the Vertical box is disabled.

Miscellaneous Wrap Text: Select this check box to automatically wrap the characters within the box. Otherwise, some characters may be truncated, depending on the width of the box.
