Column |
Description |
---|---|
Name |
Display item name |
Display As |
The display item name as displayed on the form. |
Sequence |
The display sequence of the item on the section. |
Top |
The number of rows between this display item and the beginning of the section. By default, the top position is set to 0. |
Left |
The number of columns from the left of the form that the display item should be indented. By default, the left position is set to 0. For example, if you want your section to contain two columns of display items, you could give the first item in the first column a left position of 0 and the first item in the second column a left position of 50. To ensure the display items line up correctly, they should be sequenced on the section one row at a time from right to left, not left to right. So, the rightmost display item on a row should be sequenced on the section before the leftmost one. |
ReadOnly? |
The display item is read only. (If not selected, access is Read/Write.)
|
Mandatory |
Display item contains required values that must be entered during create or update operations. |
