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.
