Generic Field Properties - General Tab

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

Use this tab to select a system or organization-specific field to be added to the layout, such as System Date or Organization Name. 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 Generic Field: Select the field to display on the layout, such as System Date or Organization Name.

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.

Size and Position: The system displays the size and position for the box on the layout, but its parameters can be changed if needed.

  • 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.

Use the ruler at the top of the screen to help assist in placing fields on the layout.
