Displays the name of the local field. When the field is placed in the layout area, the prefix (L) will be added to the name.
Displays the name of the form that will be opened when the focus is in the field. This field is not accessible with the Modifier.
Indicates the number of array elements in this field. If the local field isn't an array, this field's value will be 0.
Local indicates that the data type is defined in this window. Global indicates that a global data type created in the Data Type Definition window is used for this local field.
Specifies the control type of the local field. A control type is a data display and storage method, based on basic storage types such as integer, long integer, boolean and string. Some control types have the same storage type but are displayed in different ways; for instance, drop-down lists and list boxes are both stored as integers, but display data differently. Other fields in this window may be available or unavailable, depending on the control type selected. This list is available only when Local is marked in this window. Refer to Control types for a description of each control type.
Displays the number of characters that can be typed in the field by the user. Control types such as currency, integer and string have a keyable length.
Displays the amount of storage space, in bytes, required to store the value. For most control types, the storage size is calculated by Microsoft Dynamics GP and can't be changed.
For variable currency fields, you can set the storage size to 8, 10 or 12 bytes. Set the size to be large enough to hold the number of digits specified in the keyable length.
This option isn’t available in the Modifier.
Specifies the number of decimal places for Variable Currency control types. This field isn’t used for standard Currency control types.
Allows you to specify text or picture items that will always be associated with the local field. You can set this field to Text, Picture or Native Picture, indicating the type of static value to be used with this local field. To view or change the static values associated with the local field, click the Static Type lookup button. A window will appear, allowing you to enter or select static values. Refer to the topic Static values for more information about defining static values.
Attaches a predefined data format to the local field. The format defines data display and entry characteristics for string, currency, composite and integer fields. Click the lookup button to display a list of available formats. This field is unavailable when the data type is Global, since the global data type definition already includes format information.
Specifies a global data type for this local field. This field is available only when the data type is Global.
