   Name (Required)		This is the descriptive name for the type of statement you are creating. This statement type is selected when creating a new statement.
   Description		Provides a description for the type of statement you are creating.
   Base type (Required)	Base types include:
   	Information	Use for creating content such as Caution, Warning, and Note.

   	Branch	Use for statements requiring a decision.
   	Scan code	Use for statements that require a code value to be scanned for equipment verification purposes. After saving the Scan code statement in your content, you are required to manually enter the code value or scan the code using the camera on a mobile device.

   	Block	Use for a group of statements, other blocks or sections requiring reuse.
   	Data collection	Use for content that requires data to be recorded, such as current temperature, date/time, pressure, and vibration level. After adding a data collection statement in a document or flow, click the "Data collection not defined" button to define the data collection key type and key ID. Optionally, during a completion, data collection statements can be configured to scan text and numeric inputs. A numeric range can be set on data collection statements. During completions, the field operator enters data.
   	Table	Use for content that has to be presented in a tabular view for completion, instead of vertically. It is useful for content such as inspections, operator rounds, and Lock Out/Tag Out (LOTO).
   Numbered	Indicates whether the statement is numbered.	Use when numbered statements are required. Procedural statements are numbered by default.
   Preview	Displays a preview window.	Displays the text and the formatting that is used based on the inherited formatting of the selected base type or other settings  you made. The preview adjusts in real-time as settings are adjusted.
   Text colour	Indicates the text colour for the statement.	The options are: Default - Inherits text colour from a stylesheet Specified - Specifies a text colour When Block is selected for Base type, the Text colour options are not displayed.
   Icon	Indicates an icon for the statement type.	The options are: None - No icon will be displayed Image - Add an image attachment Template - Use a template based on HTML and CSS (Contact AcceleratorKMS for more information) Insert {0} in the template as a placeholder that will be replaced by the statement type name. This feature helps to support multiple languages (e.g. CAUTION / AVERTISSEMENT). When Block is selected for Base type, the Icon options are not displayed.

   You cannot delete a statement type if it is being used. A delete button only appears in the statement type window if that statement type is not being used.
