Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |
|
Text control
Use this control to add a text box that displays the contents of a text field and conditionally enables users to enter or modify its contents.
Refer to the following screenshot as an example of the text control widget on a Mobile Applications form:
Property | Usage |
---|---|
Name |
(Optional) Specify a unique identifier for the object on the screen. This name is used by external applications, such as RAD, to dynamically change the properties of the object. This name is also used by the Label For property to specify the label of this widget. |
Input | Specify the database field or variable to associate with this control. |
Read-Only | Select this option to disable editing capabilities and provide only viewing access to the field. |
Mandatory | Setting Mandatory to Yes by selecting the check box indicates that the field is required and therefore an asterisk indicating a required field is displayed. This is a visible change only. To make the field mandatory for any form it appears on, use the System Definition Utility. To make the field mandatory for a small number of forms only, use Format Control. |
Note If the text is too long for a mobile device to display in one line, use a Text area control instead.
