    SHARED Tip If the form data template has fields that are not accessible, these fields are protected in the Spec Data Dictionary. You cannot enter values in protected fields. When copying data, the software ignores protected fields. For details, see Protect Fields from Being Overwritten When Copying Data.

  6. On the toolbar, select Save Icon 16bit to save the changes.

  7. If needed, on the toolbar, select to define and open another form data template in the Form Data Template Editor.

  • If you opened several templates in the Form Data Template Editor, you can display the template that you require by selecting it on the Window menu.

  • We recommend that you define unique and meaningful names for your form data templates. The software does not check whether the template names are unique.
