Wizard Options in the Data Dictionary Editor provide more control over the wizards' functionality. Wizards use the Options specified for a file, field, key, or alias when creating procedures. In addition, the Wizards use file, field, key, and alias names and descriptions for the text on menus, title bars, tabs, etc.

File Options

Do Not Auto-Populate This File

Directs the wizards to skip this file when creating primary Browse procedures or Report procedures.

User Options

User Options let you provide information to utility templates. User Options are comma delimited, that is, each entry is separated by a comma. Choose from the following:

EDITINPLACE

The Browse Wizard provides edit-in-place updates to the browsed file instead of a separate update (form) procedure. We recommend this option for files with one-way lookup relationships, such as a State Code file. Files with complex relationships are better managed with a separate update procedure.

Alias Options

Do Not Auto-Populate This Aliased File

Directs the wizards to skip the Aliased File when creating primary Browse procedures or Report procedures.

User Options

User Options let you provide information to utility templates. User Options are comma delimited, that is, each entry is separated by a comma.

Field Options

Do Not Auto-Populate This Field

Directs the wizards to skip this field when creating Form, Browse or Report procedures.

Population Order

Specifies the order in which the wizards populate fields. Choose Normal, First, or Last from the drop-down list. Wizards populate in this order: all Fields specified as First, then all Fields specified as Normal, and finally all Fields specified as Last.

Form Tab

Specifies the TAB onto which the wizards populate the field. Type the Caption for the TAB or select one you have previously created from the drop-down list. This lets you direct the wizard to group fields in the manner you want.

Add Extra Vertical Space Before Field Controls on Forms

Check this box to direct the wizards to add vertical space between this field's control and the one populated above it.
