Visual Assist
This section describes the fields on the Visual Assist tab.
Indicate whether the field will have a visual assist when the data item is used on a form. A field with a visual assist displays the visual assist button at runtime. Choose the type of visual assist from the following options:
- No Visual Assist
Select this option if there is no visual assist.
- Calculator
Choose this option to assign a calculator to the data item. Use the Calculator visual assist on all numeric data items where a user might need to enter an amount.
- Calendar
Choose this option to assign a calendar to the field. Use the Calendar visual assist on all data items where a user might need to enter a date.
- Search Form
Choose this option to assign a search form to the data item. When you choose the Search Form option, a Browse button appears. The Browse button enables you to locate and select a specific Search & Select form to assign to the data item.
A field with an associated search form enables you to find a value while entering data. For example, the data item AddressNumber (AN8) has the Address Book Master Search form (W0101SA) assigned as a visual assist so that users can search for a specific address number when entering data on a form.
- EnterpriseOne UTime
Choose this visual assist if you want the data item to allow business processes to span several time zones by coordinating workstations to Universal Coordinated Time.
