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 |

HTML Viewer control
Use this control to add an HTML Viewer that enables users to view the HTML created using the HTML Editor.
To place an HTML Viewer on a form, click HTML Viewer and then click the form.
Be sure to put the name of the database field or variable that you want to associate with this control into the Input property.
Warning: Keep in mind that text you copy and paste from other sources may contain formatting tags, even if it looks like plain text.
Property | Usage |
---|---|
Accessible Description | Specify a component description for use with accessibility software. (Optional) Note: This function is only supported by the Web client. If no description is present, the Web client defaults to looking for a nearby label to use for the name of the component. For buttons, check boxes, or radio buttons, the Web client will use the component’s text. Accessibility software can query the Web client to get this information, and use it to present it to the user in a variety of ways. For example, when a component gets focus, speech simulation software will say the name and the type of component, based on the settings in the Accessible Name and Accessible Description fields. |
Height | Specify the height of the object in alignment grid units. |
HTML-Generating Script | A Javascript function that generates the content for the HTML Viewer. For example, open the form "configurationItem" in Forms Designer. On the "CI Changes" notebook page there is an HTML Viewer which has "configurationManagement.getPendingChanges" for that property. To see this function, type SL in the command line, and then type configurationManagement in the Name field. Click Search, and then scroll down. You will see the "getPendingChanges" function. |
Input | Specify the database field or variable to associate with this control. |
Name | Specify a unique identifier for the object on the screen. (Optional) This name is used by external applications, such as RAD, to dynamically change the properties of the object. |
Tab Stop | Specify the tab sort order for this field. By default, the TAB key navigates the focus on a form from top to bottom and left to right. Objects that have a non-zero Tab Stop are visited first, in ascending order. For a button, file, radio button or check box, you will almost always use the default of 0. |
Use client styling | Select this option to display an HTML snippet. The viewer will display the text respecting the font, font size, margins and background color set in the client. A fully defined HTML document may not display correctly. Note: Mark the checkbox for Service Catalog. Clear the checkbox to display a fully defined HTML document. A fully defined HTML document contains <html><head></head><body></body></html>. If the input does not contain any HTML formatting it will display plain text. Note: Clear the checkbox for Knowledge Management. |
Visible | Select this option to make the object visible on the form. Clear the check box to hide the object from view on the form. |
Visible Condition | Specify an expression to override the Visible property when that expression evaluates to true. |
Width | Specify the width of the object in alignment grid units. |
X | Specify the object’s horizontal position based on the left edge of the object. |
Y | Specify the object’s vertical position based on the top edge of the object. |
Frameborder | Specify whether a border is displayed around the HTML viewer. If you do not specify anything or enter 1, a border is displayed. If you enter 0, there is no border. |
Standards Mode | Select this option if you want the web browser to render the HTML document in Standards Mode. When this option is selected, a DOCTYPE is added to the beginning of the document. |
