Custom Screen Field Properties

The Custom Screen Field Properties screen can be accessed from the Screen Edit/Preview screen by clicking on or within a Field.

The Custom Screen Field Properties screen allows you to customize screen fields/labels appearance and attributes.

The following is a description of the fields that appear on the Custom Screen Field Properties screen:

Field Description
Column The fields column position on the screen.
Row The fields row position on the screen.
Field/Label Text The field name or the label text to appear in this cell on the custom screen. The system supports the same field to appear more than once on a custom screen.
Type The type of field used on the screen.
Occurrence If a field is repeated multiple times on a screen (eg. a list of part numbers), you can create a single part number field but use the Occurrence value to uniquely identify each field. For example, if you had 5 part number field, each one would have a unique occurrence number from 1 to 5. The reason for allowing this is to eliminate the need to configure 5 separate part number fields.
Justify Determines the field or label justification within the cell (e.g. left, right or center).
Bold Allows you to bold the label or data in the cell.
Color The color of the label or data that appears in the cell.
Background Color The background color for the cell.
Input Width Determines how many characters in the input box are visible. This field definition will determine how many characters can be entered.
Column Span Determines how many columns are spanned (combined) in order to present the field or label. Used for headings that span multiple columns or to handle larger input fields.
