Adding a Field
To create a new field, click the Add Field button. The Add Field dialog box will appear. Enter a name for
the field. (Index field names cannot contain Unicode characters.) The Table option allows you to select
either Document-Level or Page-Level. Document-level field values will be the same for all pages of a
document. Page-level field values will apply to only the selected page.
Field Types
Seven field types are available when you create new fields:
n Text: This standard text field can contain up to 255 text characters.
n Auto-Increment: This is the same as the text field, except it will automatically increment
from one document to the next if no value is specified.
n Date: This field requires entry of a valid date format with a 4-digit year (i.e., mm/dd/yyyy).
n List: This is the same as the text field, but allows entry of pre-specified values, which appear
in a pull-down list for the field on the index tab. You can modify the list values by selecting
the Edit List button once a list field has been selected from the fields list.
n Memo: This field type is for large text field values that exceed 255 characters—the Span Height
setting adjusts the number of rows displayed on the main form (memo fields cannot be indexed).
n Numeric: This field accepts numeric values between the values of -2147483647 and 2147483648.
n Tag (Boolean): This field has one of two states (Yes/No). Yes is represented by a green checkmark
in the grid displays. The field, when viewed in the Index display, contains Yes and No in a pull-down list.
