Each section of the data entry form must have a name. The name can be optionally displayed on the form (see Appearance below).
Appearance
Each section is made up of one or more rows of fields. The number of fields in a row (columns) is the same for the entire section. However, fields can be made to span multiple columns and rows. For more information please see the section on field properties.
The section name can optionally be displayed on the form as a heading.
If the name is displayed you can pick style for the heading of Underlined or Highlighted. It is also possible to set custom style (e.g. Color, Size, Font, Borders etc.) by choosing CSS Class from the Style dropdown and then providing the CSS class name. This class must then be added to your CustomStyles.css file in the Custom directory of your RMTrack installation folder. Please contact support@rmtrack.com if assistance with this option is needed.
Fields in RMTrack can be set as "required" at different stages of the workflow. Required fields are indicated by a red asterisk on the data entry form beside the field name. This indicator can be changed to be at the section level beside the Section Name. This is generally used when all fields in the section are required fields.
Field Captions
Names of fields can be displayed Above, Below, to the Right, or to the Left of the field.
You can pick a style for the field name of Light (gray), Normal, or Bold. It is also possible to set custom style (e.g. Color, Size, Font, Borders etc.) by choosing CSS Class from the style dropdown and then providing the CSS class name. This class must then be added to your CustomStyles.css file in the Custom directory of your RMTrack installation folder. Please contact support@rmtrack.com if assistance with this option is needed.
Focus Highlighting
You can turn on focus highlighting which will highlight the area around the field or around the section that currently has focus on the page. The highlighting style can be Light (yellow) or Medium (blue). You can also set a custom color by selecting CSS Class from the Style dropdown and then providing the CSS class name. This class must then be added to your CustomStyles.css file in the Custom directory of your RMTrack installation folder. Please contact support@rmtrack.com if assistance with this option is needed.
