Step 2 Review iiiEmployNotes Field Visualization

Step 2. Review iiiEmployNotes Field Visualization

REP002 - Field Visualizations

In this step you will review the field visualizations created for the iiiEmployNotes field. You will add a multi-line edit box and make this the default visualization.

Multi-line edit box is often the best visualization to use for long character fields.

1.  Open the iiiEmployNotes field in the Editor.

2.  Select the Visualization tab.

     You will notice that the standard visualization for a String field is simply an entry field.

3.  Press the Multi-line Entry Field toolbar button to add a multiple line edit box visualization for the Notes field.

4.  Double-click the VisualMultilineEdit visualization to display the Details tab. Change its DefaultVisual property to True.

     By changing the DefaultVisual property to True for the multiline edit box, the DefaultVisual property of VisualEdit will be set to False because only one visualization can be the default.

5.  Make the Width property of the VisualMultiLineEdit to 400.

     The default visualization for the Notes field is now a multi-line edit box.

6.  Save and close the field.

     Note: You can close any open  object from the Open Objects view.
