Form Properties

Basic Information

• Name - Name of the Form
• Use this form for -

This option appears for all forms except the default form (which is usable for everything).

Select one of:

• Managing Records -
• Printing Records -
• Web Forms - The form can be used as the basis for a Web Form
• Mobile Access -

Advanced Options

This section does not appear for a Mobile Access form.

Choose the additional functionality you want users to have when viewing a record:

• Show Print Button - Show a button that prints the record.
• Show Field Hint

Choose whether or not to show field hints when the form is displayed to add, view, or update/edit a record.

If this option is enabled and there is text in the Description for a field in the Form, then:

• That text appears as on-screen help when the user's cursor is over the field name.
• In each Form, it becomes possible to specify the Field Hint to use for that field, in that form. (That text is then displayed as the field hint, overriding the field description.)

Note: The Field Hint option is available for all field types, except for Custom Control and Lookup-Derived fields.
