| # To edit forms After you have a basic form setup and operational, you can change the form layout to achieve the final result. Form edit tasks are performed in the context of the basic form edit procedure. Many of the typical form editing operations are outlined here, grouped by general area: To edit the form content describes the labels and fields that are displayed To edit the form structure describes the grouping of fields and the tabs that are displayed To edit the form sequence describes the order and relative placement of labels and fields 重要 For detailed information on the ダイナミックフォームエディタ, refer to the ダイナミックフォームエディタ's online help. To edit the form content Form layout changes affect the labels and fields that are presented on the form. To specify fields for overview and detail sessions You can specify, per individual field, whether the field must be displayed in the overview session, the details session, or in both sessions: Right-click a form field, and on the shortcut menu click Properties. The Field Properties dialog starts. On the Position tab, select whether the field is displayed in the Details session or in the Overview session or in both sessions. Select Details and Overview Session To move to the other fields, click the navigation buttons in the dialog. You can view the effect of your changes from within the form editor: On the File menu, click Show Overview Session. The overview session starts. If you wish to view the details session, click Show Details Session. To add a field You can add a field to a form based on these conditions: The field is defined in the main table of the session. The field is defined in a reference table of the main table. The field is defined in the program (UI) script. To add a field to the form: Select the field that is before the field you wish to add. On the Insert menu, click Field. A new field, with a label icon, is added. Edit the field properties. Define the field name and attributes in the General tab. If the new field is a table field, you can select it from a list: Click the zoom button next to the Field Name field. The Table Fields (ttadv4529m000) session starts. Select a table field. If the field is not in the main table, use the Find button to select a different table. Define additional properties for the field. If a field is a reference only field, you can clear the Label Code field in the Label tab to remove the label. Depending on the importance of the field, you can select if you want the field to be displayed in the overview session, the details session or both. The new field is displayed in the ダイナミックフォームエディタ. An indented field indicates that the field is a “child” field. Child fields display next and to the right of parent fields, at the same indentation level as fields that have the same parent. To change the indentation of a field, use the Right and Left buttons in the editor's toolbar. Save the form. Indent Field Checkbox Appearance An enumerated domain that has two values can be viewed as a checkbox. The default appearance is a drop-down list box. To change the appearance of an enumerated domain: In the field properties for the field with the enumerated domain, select the Appearance tab. Select Check Box. Enumerate Check Box When you show the details session, the result shows the field with the enumerated domain as a checkbox. Alternatively, you can change the appearance of the domain for any form for an enumerated domain. To do so, insert the domain in the Domains to be Displayed as Checkbox (ttgfd4520m000) session. To edit the form structure The structure of the form affects the grouping of fields and tab labels. To add a field Group A field group has a title. The fields in the field group are shown within an indented list. To create a field group: On the Insert menu, click Group. A new group, with a folder icon, is added. The group is added immediately below the selected field. If you need to, use the Up and Down arrow buttons to position the field group. Click Properties to start the Group Properties dialog. Enter a label for the new group, and specify the other group properties. For details about the fields in the dialog, refer to the ダイナミックフォームエディタ's online help. Click OK. The field group label will change in the form editor. Use the arrow buttons to move the fields into the group. Group properties Move fields into group To align groups and fields Field group alignment and field alignment are important in determining the layout of the form. Because the form generation is dynamic, this alignment is the main way to control the placement of labels and fields on the form. Groups and field placement depends on the indentation level of the field groups, subgroups and fields. The indentation level of a group determines if the group is a tab, or a field group (sub-group) within a tab. Sub-groups can be aligned next to each other. The indentation level of the field determines if the field is placed on a new line (on the left side of the form), or as a field to the right of a previous field. The alignment of fields in columns depends on the group alignment selection of the field group that the fields belong to. To adjust the indentation level of field groups and fields, use the left and right arrow buttons. 例 - Field Alignment for Items The Items form has many fields. In the Weights field group, you want the net weight to be placed to the right of the gross weight field. You change the indentation level for the net weight field to be one level to the right. Field Alignment for Items This diagram shows the result: Field Alignment Result 例 - Group Alignment The General group/tab in the Items form contains two sub-groups: the Weights group and the Stock Values group. To place these sub-groups next to each other: Edit the properties of the General group: specify 2 in the Subgroups next to each other field. In the properties of the Weights group, select Next to other Group. In the properties of the Stock Values group, select Next to other Group. This diagram shows the result: Group Alignment Result The tab sequence for fields in subgroups allows you to tab through the fields in the first subgroup before tabbing to fields in the second sub-group. To edit the form sequence The sequence of the form allows you to present the data relative to its importance to the organization. You can sequence field groups or fields. To change the sequence of a field group or field, select the item and use the Up and Down buttons in the editor's toolbar to move the item. Alternatively, you can drag and drop the item. 例 - Field Sequence for Items You move the purchase price field above the supplier information, and the packing field to the Weights field group. The result shows the desired sequence of the fields.
