Entering Cell Text in Data Forms

You can enter a text description for cells in a data form. For example, you might add a description for a cell’s currency information, such as Entity Currency.

You can set size limits for cell text in an application. The default cell text setting is a maximum of 8,000 bytes. You set the maximum size in the AppSettings attribute for the application metadata.

Note:

You cannot enter text for a cell that is calculated by the form.

  To add cell text in data forms:

  1. Open a data form.

  2. Select the cell for which to add text.

  3. Take one of these actions:

    • Highlight a cell, right-click, and select Cell Text.

    • Select a cell, and in the form toolbar, click Cell Text.

    • If the administrator has set up the form with a cell text column, enter the cell text in the column.

      Note:

      The cell point of view is displayed for informational purposes only.

  4. In the text box below the cell point of view information, enter the text for that cell, and click OK.

    Note:

    After you enter cell text, the cell has a blue triangular mark in the top left corner to indicate that it contains cell text. Cells that contain both cell text and line item detail are indicated by a blue and red triangular mark.
