About Text Fields

You can type text directly into a text field. You click in the field before typing this text. Figure 21 shows an example of a text field in a form.

To more easily enter text in text fields that can contain a large amount of text, you can click a drag the resizing indicator in the bottom right corner of the field to make the field larger. (You can also use the resizing indicator to make the field smaller.) In some browsers, you must click in the text field to see the resizing indicator. Figure 22 shows an example of the resizing indicator for a text field.

Developers can customize the Siebel application to save or to not save the size of a field that you resize. They can also customize the Siebel application to not use this resize feature for fields.
