This section does not appear for a Mobile Access form. It does not appear for some specialized objects used in CRM (customer relations management) applications.

Choose the additional functionality you want users to have when viewing a record:
  • Show Tags Link - Show the link that allows user to specify Data Tags for a record.
  • Show Clone Button - Display the [Clone] button so the record can be copied.
  • Show Print Button - Show a button that prints the record.
  • Show Field Hint - Choose whether or not to show field hints when the form is displayed to add, view, or update/edit a record.
When Show Field Hint is enabled, this icon appears next to fields that have help text: (?) Hovering the mouse over the (?) icon displays the help text
If this option is enabled and there is text in the Description for a field in the Form, then:
  1. That text appears as on-screen help when the user clicks the Hint link, by default.
  2. In each Form, it becomes possible to specify the Field Hint to use for that field, in that form. (That text is then displayed as the field hint, overriding the field description.)
