Displaying Information

There are actually twelve ways in which Guide Designer can display object information, six for when you working with one object (a reference) and six for when working with a list. The following table presents the ways in which you can display object information, and each group of six is displayed in a different color.

Carefully notice the differences between rows. For example, if only one object can be selected from a list of objects, Guide Designer displays radio buttons. However, if more than one object can be selected, it displays check boxes.

The information in these columns is as follows:

How Displayed
: The left column indicates how objects are displayed; the remaining four columns in the row show how this choice is made.

How Inserted
: The information is displayed as read-only or it can be displayed so that the user can update it. This is controlled by the way in which the field was inserted into the step.

Display Columns
: If you want the information displayed as columns
within a table, select the columns within the Field Properties
dialog. Not making a selection has the same effect as selecting just the name field.

Note
: The Field Properties
dialog is extensively discussed later in this topic.

Show List?
: Have you indicated that a list of possible objects should be shown to users. If yes, you will need to select one of the possibilities in the Show List
picklist within the Field Properties
dialog? If you don't make a selection, users can choose any of the object type's objects of the appropriate object type.

One Object or List?
: Is the field presented on the screen as type Object ID or Object List?

How Displayed	How Inserted	Display Columns	Show List?	One Object or List?
