Fields tab (Form Settings)

Use settings on this tab to create and configure indexing fields that will be presented to user on a Lexmark component form.

Add fields by clicking on the New field button appearing as the first column header and labeled with N. Once you have added the first row, you can tab through to add additional fields.

Option Description
Name The field name should be unique among the other fields within this form. This name is displayed for the field on the device panel. The field name labels the RRT that returns the field value at run time. For example, if the field name is "Field1", the RRT is ~K20::%Field1%~. The name can be any combination of alphanumeric characters. Spaces and special characters (for example, ~, !, @, #, $, %) are not allowed.
Display The text that labels a field on the device panel.
Type A field type represents the format by which data is collected at the device panel. Regardless of field type, the result will be in text format. The following field types are supported:
  • Text — Users can enter plain text.
  • Integer — Users can enter whole number integers.
  • Numeric — Users can enter numbers with or without a decimal point.
  • List — Presents users with a list of choices. Use this field type if you want a text field with auto-complete capabilities. For long lists, you can configure the field to allow users to search for a value in the list.
  • Tree — Creates a tree choice control in a form.
N (notify server) Select the check box in this column to trigger an event when the value of the field changes. You can respond to this event in the snap-in that was configured for the dynamic form section in the General tab. For details on how to respond to form and field events, refer to Lexmark Capture Component Snap-in Documentation.
P (properties) Click the browse button to edit properties for a specific field type.
