Show/Hide All

 Overview

An item is any element of a panel that can be moved or changed in some way by the Customizer module. Items that perform a function (as opposed to static text and frames) are also referred to as controls. The following items can be modified using Customizer: buttons, check boxes, drop boxes, folders, frames, grids, list boxes, multi-lines, radio buttons, and text.

 Before You Begin

The following tasks have logic to initialize default values to data fields. This logic may interfere with your customizations.

• Sales Order Entry

• Sales Order Invoice Data Entry

• Purchase Order Entry

• Purchase Order Receipt of Goods Entry

• Purchase Order Receipt of Invoice Entry

To modify an item

1. Select Custom Office Main menu > Customizer Selection.

2. Select the panel to modify an item for. For more information, see Select a Panel.

3. In the panel, right-click or double-click the corresponding control. The corresponding definition window appears.

4. In the item definition window, set the properties for the current control by entering the appropriate fields, including the following

 If you are modifying a button, check box, external link, or radio button

Click Use Bitmap to use a bitmap instead of the default control image. The corresponding bitmap fields are enabled.

 If you are modifying a drop box / list box

On the Main tab, click Select or double-click an item to select or clear items in the Initial List box. An asterisk (*) appears next to selected items.

 If you are modifying a frame

You can use a frame item to create a single horizontal or vertical line by entering a value between 0 and 1 in the Height or Width field. If the frame width or height prevents the preview from displaying the entire frame, a Not to Scale message appears on the window. The name of a frame item is assigned automatically as FRAME_1, FRAME_2, etc.

5. To size the item, on the Options tab, in the Column, Row, Width, and Height fields, enter the appropriate values. To resize the item on the panel, double-click and drag the item, or click the item and press CRTL + the UP or DOWN ARROW key. A blue rectangle appears around the item as you are resizing it.

6. Click OK to exit the item definition window. To use the Grid feature to verify the alignment of items on the panel, on the Customizer Toolbar, click the Toggle Grid On/Off button.

7. Click the Exit button to exit the panel. The system prompts you to save your changes. Click OK.

The item's properties are modified. After making custom changes, verify that the item functions correctly.
