Fields Widget

The Fields widget displays some of a Line's fields as a form. It's the widget every Command starts with, and most forms consist of one or several of them. How a field itself works is explained in Fields. This page is about choosing and arranging the fields a widget displays. Choosing the Fields Right-click the widget and choose Fields....

• Displayed in this area, on the left, lists the fields the widget displays, in their order.
• Available, on the right, lists the Command's other fields.

To	Do this
Add fields	Select them on the right and press ← Add. They are placed in the selected category, or at the end.
Remove fields	Select them on the left and press Remove →.
Reorder fields	Drag them on the left.
Group fields	Press Add Category, name it, then add or drag fields into it. In the form, a category has a title that folds and unfolds it.
Draw a line between fields	Press Add Separator: a horizontal line after the selected field.
Rename a category	Select it and press Rename.
Delete categories and separators	Select them and press Delete. The fields of a deleted category return to Available.

Select several fields at once with Ctrl and Shift. Columns Columns spreads the fields over several columns. Fields fill the first column from top to bottom, then the next. Each category, and each part a separator divides, is spread over the columns on its own. Fields Inside Fields A field that contains other fields, such as a list of choices, unfolds in the left list to list them.

• Untick one to leave it out of this widget.
• Drag one to move it among the fields beside it.
• Add Separator works among them too.

What you set applies to every entry of the list. Everything Not Placed in Another Area With Everything not placed in another area ticked, the widget doesn't have a list of its own: it displays every field that no other Fields widget of the Editor displays. Include one such widget per tab: a field that a later version adds to a Command then appears there instead of being left out. Options Right-click the widget and choose Options.

Option	Description
Reference	The Field Tree this widget follows: this widget then displays only the entry picked there.
CLEAR in drop-downs	Adds CLEAR at the bottom of each field's dropdown: it empties the field.
RESET in drop-downs	Adds RESET at the bottom of each field's dropdown: it restores the field's default value.
Minimum Size, Maximum Size	The minimum and maximum size of the widget's area.

Folding Categories Click a category's title in the form to fold or unfold it. Its state is remembered. Locking Fields Right-click a field's text and choose Lock Text Editing to prevent changes to it in this widget. See Fields. Several Fields Widgets A tab can contain several Fields widgets, each with its own fields: the main ones in a wide area, the rarely used ones in a narrow one. The same field can be displayed by two widgets, in the same tab or in two tabs. Filters can hide a whole Fields widget, one of its categories or separators, or single fields (see Filters).
