Understanding Absolute Position

The Absolute Position option enables you to wrap text that is fetched from the database, business view columns, and media object text. This option does not affect text that is supplied through event rules or entered into constant fields.

When you select the Absolute Position option, text is truncated in fields where the display length is too short. The system leaves the text in its absolute position. When you clear the Absolute Position option, the text is wrapped to the next line of the field.

Note: You cannot define text wrapping for individual fields; you must apply text wrapping to an entire detail section.
