Field Labels

Choose Field Labels:

This is optional but very useful. Choose meaningful labels to be displayed next to your fields on each of the generated pages. The field names used by the database are often short and cryptic. Your lables on the other hand can even contain special characters like spaces and the pound symbol (#) for example. Click on any field name and enter the text you would like to be used as its label. First you will see the fieldnames displayed twice. After supplying labels, you will see the labels next to the field names. If you don't supply a label for a field, the name of the field will be used.

Choose Tooltips:

Selecting this option replaces the formatting window with a similar one allowing you to type special instructions you would like to pass on to your end users for this field.

By default the instructions you type will be used on the both the add form and the edit detail form.  Because the search form will usually involve a different set of instructions for the end user you can simple choose this from the dropdown menu item to the right of the field formatting list.

You can from this option box also choose the alignment which your tooltips will appear in relation to the field names and whether you would like the name of the field to be displayed as well.   Below you can see an example of the final product

Choose Date Format:

By default the date format is "MM/DD/YYYY" but you can change how this is displayed.

Choose 2 Column Format:

By default ASaP will display fields on the pages using 1 column with the exception of the search results page. You can choose which pages you would like to display the information in 2 columns here to conserve real estate on your pages.

Choose HTML area fields

This will be available for memo type fields only. You can now choose which memo fields you would like to have HTML type formatting. This includes the ability to markup text as bold, italic, choose fonts, colors, bulleted items, horizontal rules, tables, center text, include images and hyperlinks.
