Database Field Properties - General Tab

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

Use this tab to select a database field to be added to the layout, such as Vendor Name and Address, Check, or Document Amount. Keep in mind that items in the Select Database Field drop-down list vary depending on what layout type is selected. For example, if creating an A/P check layout, items like the Vendor ID and Vendor Name appear in the drop-down list. The Size and Position of the box/field on the layout can also be determined.

After all selections are made, click OK, and the system applies the properties. These settings are saved with the layout.

Select Database Field: Select the database field to display on the layout, such as Vendor Name and Address, Check, or Document Amount.

The available fields are associated with the layout type selected on the Create New Layout form. Use the drop-down list to see a list of available fields. The system automatically displays the most recent information for the field.

• Left, Top: Enter the number, in inches, for the system to place the box from the left and top edge of the screen.
• Width, Height: Enter the width and height of the box.
