When
you create a password field, the Value tab displays several options
that you can apply to the object.
Type
Enables
run-time calculations and prompts:
-
User Entered
- Optional
-
Users can choose whether to enter data.
-
User Entered - Recommended
-
A user is recommended to enter a value in the field. If the
user enters a value, leaves the field and then clears it, a custom message
box appears (if written in the Empty Message box). A standard empty message
appears if you do not type a custom message. If the user never attempts to
enter a value in the field and tries to submit the form, a field
is required message appears and the user can choose to ignore the
message and submit the form.
-
User Entered - Required
-
A user must enter a value in the field. If the user enters a
value, leaves the field and then clears it, a custom message box
appears (if written in the Empty Message box). A standard empty
message appears if you do not type a custom message. A message only
appears if there was a value in the field, the value was deleted,
and the user exited the field without re-entering a value. If the
user never attempts to enter a value in the field and tries to submit the
form, a field is required message appears.
Empty Message
Sets a message for prompting users to enter a
recommended or required value. See
To prompt users to enter data
.
Note:
This option
is available only when the Type option is set to User Entered - Recommended
or User Entered - Required.
Validation Pattern
Sets a validation pattern for validating user
input. The pattern must match the syntax of the user input and be
compatible with the data format selected on the Binding tab. See
To validate user input
.
Note:
This option is
not available when the Type option is set to Protected, Calculated -
Read Only, or Read Only.
Validation Pattern Message and Error
Sets a custom message to display
when a raw value does not match the validation pattern. By default,
this situation causes a programming error to be generated at run
time. To generate a warning instead, deselect the Error option. See
To validate user input
.
Note:
Dynamic properties
are identified by active labels that have a green underline that
you can click to dynamically bind the property to a data source.
To turn active labels on and off, use the Show Dynamic Properties
command in the Object palette menu. See
Dynamically populate a validation pattern message
.
Validation Script Message and Error
Sets a custom message to display
when an attached validation script detects an unacceptable value.
By default, this situation causes a programming error to be generated
at run time. To generate a warning instead, deselect the Error option. See
To validate user input
.
Note:
This option
is not available when the Type option is set to Protect, Calculated
- Read Only, or Read Only. Validation Script Message is a dynamic
property. Dynamic properties are identified by active labels that
have a green underline that you can click to dynamically bind the
property to a data source. To turn active labels on and off, use
the Show Dynamic Properties command in the Object palette menu.
