1.Click on the System Fields tab. A list of system field names available for use in the block is displayed in the System Fields pane. 2.For each field that you want to use, drag it from the System Fields pane to your desired position in the canvas.
When a field is being worked on in the layout, the fields in the Properties pane can be edited to choose display formats and other attributes.
Note: The tool enforces only the most basic validation, such as not allowing characters in numeric fields. As a result, the tool may accept property edits that may not work at runtime, or might cause an error in more sophisticated validations. For example, if you edit the value property of a field to have a default value at runtime, but the field is one that will always be populated by a non-default value automatically, your edit will be accepted, yet will have no effect at runtime. 3.If you want a field to be in a new position in the layout, simply drag it to the new position. If you don’t want a field to appear in the layout, click the small X icon next to the field to delete it from the layout.
Note: Fields “collapse upward” to fill empty spaces in the layout. If you leave empty fields in a column, the populated fields below the empty ones will move up so that there are no empty positions in the layout at runtime. Designers can utilize the new Empty element to add additional spacing into their blocks. This element, added in Screen Designer 5.2, inserts an empty <div> element to create the desired spacing effect. 4.If the Properties pane is visible, it will always show the properties of whichever field has focus. Properties vary depending upon the datatype of the field that has focus. |
