Editing and entering data
Sort all item lists by Select the type of sort that you want to sort item lists by.
In Single Edit, spacing between fields Select the vertical spacing that you want between the attribute fields.
In Single Edit, Field Length Select the size of the attribute field you want as a proportion of the available space.
Note: There is a minimum field length set for a single edit view of an entry depending on the available space and the deepest node level of the entry. The minimum field length feature has two limitations:
  • The deepest node level is based on all of the attributes that exist for a given item irrespective of whether the attributes are present in the given current view or not. Therefore, for example in a tabbed view, the minimum field length applied to an entries single edit view might not be the applicable "minimum field length" for that particular tab view.
  • In a boundary condition where the window size is small and the field length has reached its minimum length, any new attribute fields added to an entry in single edit view might move out of alignment. Once saved or refreshed, the alignment is restored back to its original state.
In Single Edit, Label width [50 - 800 px] Specify in pixels the width of the labels for the attribute fields. If the label width for a given attribute exceeds the width that is specified by this setting, the attribute label is truncated. The complete attribute label text can be accessed by mouse hover over the label.
