To set string field options:
1. | Select a string field from the Fields scrolling window. |
2. | Click the expansion button above the Fields scrolling window. |
3. | Select the string format. This format defines how the string will be displayed in the SmartList. |
4. | If the string format selected was Other Mask, enter the string mask. A string mask is used to add static characters to a string, such as parentheses, spaces or dashes. A capital X is used as a placeholder to represent alphanumeric characters that will appear in the string. All other characters will be used to change the way the string is displayed after it has been entered. |
