- Type: This read-only field reports the Form Template Part's Type (Component, Sub-Template, or Tab Control). Form Template Parts accessed using the Visual Designer are Component-based.
- Component: This read-only field reports which Form Component this part implements. For example, the Date field's Form Template Part, shown below, implements the Text Field component.
- Layout Key: This field is used to find and reference form template parts within a Form Template Layout control. The Layout Key is the first candidate for match.
- Part Name: Corresponds to the Name from the Form Template Parts record.
- Category: Corresponds to the category for this part. This field links to the Form Template Parts Categories service.
- Description: Corresponds to the Description from the Form Template Parts record.
- Width Sizing: Corresponds to the Resize Width from the Form Template Parts record's Placement tab. By default, fields have Width Sizing set to None. Note that all generated fields have Width Sizing set to Fill so that the width of the field automatically resizes when you resize its form.
- Height Sizing: Corresponds to the Resize Height from the Form Template Parts record's Placement tab. By default, fields have Height Sizing set to None. If you are adding a new control to the bottom of a form, you may want to set Height Sizing to Fill so that the height of the control automatically resizes when the form is resized.
- Enabled: Specifies whether or not the Form Template Part is enabled on the form. This option is checked by default and the Form Template Part is enabled. When the option is unchecked, the form template part appears on the form but it is grayed out and disabled for all run modes.
- Tab Index: This number indicates the order in which focus moves among the fields when a user presses the Tab key on the keyboard. The first position corresponds to a value of 0. By default on a generated form, this is the first field at the top of the tab. When a uses presses the Tab key, the cursor moves to the second field, which has a Tab Index of 1. When the user presses the Tab key again, the cursor moves the third field, which as a Tab Index of 2, and so on. If you rearrange the fields on a tab (or add new fields), then you should update the Tab Index setting for each field as necessary. Modifying the Tab Index changes the order in which parts appear in the template's Part List tab. (See Adding Parts to Form Templates or "Part List Tab" in the Admin Guide.)
An administrator can modify these settings as necessary. When saved, the Visual Designer automatically updates the form and the corresponding Form Template Parts record.
