Context
The specific object that the form element displays or collects information about.
Several factors determine which Context values are available for a field: the Object Type value of the field, the Context Type value of the form that contains the field, and whether the form that contains the field also includes at least one grid.
The Object Type value of the field corresponds to the Business Objects value you choose in the Select Fields dialog box when you add the field.
If the Object Type value of the field matches the Context Type value of the form—or if the Context Type value of the form is Portfolio Project—then you can set the context of the field to Same as form. In this case, the field describes the same object that the form runs against.
If the Object Type value of the field is Project or Portfolio Project, and if the form also includes a grid, you can set the Context of the field to Focused row in [grid name]. With this configuration, when a user selects a row in the specified grid, the field displays information for the project described in the selected grid row.
Height in Rows
The height of the form element in text rows.
Editable data
Determines whether performers can edit data in the form element. The values of some fields, including many related to schedule health and progress, are always determined by calculations and not user input. These fields cannot be made editable.
Required
Determines whether the form element must contain data before the form containing the element can be submitted.
Default Value
The value that the field displays when a user first opens the form. If a user submits a form without changing a field from its default value, the object that the form runs against will be affected as if the user had entered the default value.
