To modify a field's behavior

  1. In the Infor Rich Client, access the Configuration Console.
  2. In the left pane, navigate to the business class form whose fields you want to modify. If necessary, create the business class configuration and the business class form configuration.
  3. In the left pane, select double-click the form to open the form layout editor.
  4. In the Layout section, select the field whose behavior you want to modify.
  5. To modify the behavior of a field, consider the following fields in the Field Attributes section:
    Required

    Select this check box to make the field required.

    Display Only

    Select this check box to make the field display only.

    Hidden

    Select this check box to hide the field.

    Display as Text

    Select this check box so that the field displays as text on the form (similar to a label). This also causes the field to be display only.

    Initial Value

    Specify an initial value. Select the Is Literal? check box if you want to enter a literal value. Otherwise, select a field from the drop-down list in order to supply the value.

    Constraint

    Create a constraint for the field. Click Build Condition to access the Condition Builder Helper in order to create the constraint condition.

    If you want to add a message that will appear if the constraint is not met, save the changes you have made and then click the Edit LPL button. In the LPL, locate the constraint for the field, and add the message below the constraint. Enclose the message in quotation marks and do not use spaces between the words. For example,

    BeginDate
                constraint (BeginDate <  EndDate)
                    "BeginDateMustBeBeforeEndDate"
  6. Click the Save button at the top of the right pane.
