Changing System Field Attributes

Path: Admin > Form Attributes > System Form Attributes

Caution: Restrict access to this window. The WebTMA System Administrators for your organization are the persons who should make any changes. Ideally, your administrators consult with WebTMA to determine what, if any, changes are needed. Use the window to change the availability or characteristics of fields and Tabs on a particular window.

The changes made to the System Form Attributes window apply to all WebTMA users. See Creating Custom Form Attributes to learn about changes for specific types of employees.

Your System Administrator can make changes to meet the practices of the organization. Changes can be made during initial setup or at a later time.

The following list describes field options available for certain windows and fields:

• Required. Make the field a required entry, and prevent saving a record until the information is provided.
• Enabled. The field allows interaction, such as data entry. If the check box is clear, the field can be seen, but changes cannot be made to it.
• Visible. Show the field or button on the window. If the check box is clear, the field is hidden from everyone's view.
• Tab Stop. Include or exclude the field as part of the tabbing navigation.
• Dropdown. Include a down arrow in the field so users can view a selection list.
• Popup. Show or hide the ellipsis button to allow or deny users a more complete search for field contents. If you clear the Dropdown check box, you can clear this check box as well to prevent opening the related popup selection window.

Hiding Tabs has certain restrictions. See How to Show/Hide Tabs for more information. Note that Tabs on windows in WebTMA GO (iPad forms) cannot be changed in any way.
