Configuring large text fields
Some text fields such as Comments, Remarks and Question fields can potentially contain a large amount of text. In order to keep the web page concise, text in these types of fields can be truncated.
 | This feature is available only for the List block, Details block and the Expander block. |
Procedure
1. Go to Web definitions, select a web definition, expand its hierarchical page structure, and then select a List / Details block.
2. In the data section, select the Comments field from the fields list. If the Comments field is not available, add it using the Add fields… button.
3. On the Field properties tab:
-> for a List block, enter a Max. field length value, for example, 250.
The text in the comments field on the web page is truncated to the number of characters specified in the Max. field length.
To view complete text, users can either visit the Details page or open a row expander (only in Publisher).
-> for a Details block, enter a Min. field height value, for example, 60.
In the Enable expandable text, select Yes, to truncate the text to the specified height. To read the entire text, a More.. link is displayed below the truncated text. Click Less to return to a truncated text view.
Click No, to display the complete text.
4. Click Save to apply your changes.
