A field is a set of similar values, while a field instance is an individual value for a
field. For example, when a form presents a grid, a field is an entire column in the
grid, and a field instance is an individual cell in the column.

Field attributes apply no matter what the value of a field is. If you create field
instance attributes, you need to define the instances to which the attributes apply.
In order to do this, create a data subscriber that targets the field that you selected in
step 3. The attributes that you create would take effect when the subscriber definition
evaluates to true.

Take care that field instance security attributes defined here do not conflict with field
security attributes defined in the Security panel.

1. In the Property listbox, select an attribute that you want to set for the

component you have identified. Attributes vary by component type. For
descriptions, see the lists following step 6 of this procedure.

2. In the Value field, type or select the value that sets the attribute. For example,

if you selected Background Color in the Property field, you would select a
specific color, for example red, in the value field.

3. Select the Enabled Flag checkbox to activate the attribute or clear the

checkbox to deactivate the attribute.

Blocking Attributes
You can set the following block attributes:

• Blockscrollbar X Pos : Sets the horizontal starting point for the scroll bar from
the left of the block. Just type in the required number of pixels.
• Blockscrollbar Y Pos : Sets the vertical starting point for the scroll bar, from
the top of the block. Type a number of pixels.
• Current Row Background Color : For the row on which the cursor is focused,
it sets the color of the space surrounding field entries. Select from six colors.
• Current Row Font Size : Sets the type size for entries in the row on which the
cursor is focused. Select a number from 1 to 18 points.
• Current Row Font Weight : Sets the thickness of type for entries in the row
on which the cursor is focused. Select from nine weights.
• Current Row Foreground Color : For the row on which the cursor is focused,
it sets the color of field entries. Select from six colors.
• Next Navigation Block : Sets the block to which the cursor moves if a user
presses the Tab key from the last field in the current block. Type a block name.
