Field Formatting
Choose Field
Labels:
The field names used by the database are often short
and cryptic so you can custimize what you would like to be
displayed as the field name here. Click on any field name and
enter the text you would like to be used as its label.
Choose Tooltips:
Tooltips are little windows with special instructions that will
open to the end user when they hover over the
fieldname. This is useful if the title you give your
fieldname is not descriptive enough and you need to impart some
more detailed instructions on how to fill out the field. By
default the instructions you type will be used on the both the add
form and the edit detail form. Because the search form will
usually involve a different set of instructions for the end user
you can simple choose this additional formatting by selecting
"Tooltips add/edit" or "Tooltips
search" .
You have the option of the tooltip alignment in relation to
the field name on the page as shown below. The
chosen setting below will cause the tooltip to hover just to the
left of the field label. The checkbox for the "Field
Title" will include the Field Title at the top of the
tooltip. You can see the result in the image just below the
setting.
This is a screen capture of a generated page using the tooltip
with the Left Alignment and the Field Title. To trigger
the tooltip on the generated page the end user will hover over the
question mark symbol next to the Field Title causing the tooltip to
display.
