Panel Header and Caption

Select the Caption property to define the caption of the form or query. The caption may be displayed in the classic Panel Header of the form or query. It can also be used to display a title of a popup or modeless window If the form or query is displayed inside a window. A caption can also be used as the name of a tab if the form or query is displayed in a tab.

Select this radio button if you want Aware IM to use the default caption – for forms with one form section it is the caption of the form section; for forms with multiple form sections, it is the name of the business object. Note that you can use tag expressions here which can refer to the attributes of the object displayed by the form or query.

Select this radio button to display the specified text as caption. Note that you can use tag expressions here which can refer to the attributes of the object displayed by the form or query.

If you want to save real estate by displaying caption of the form inside the application toolbar (one must be defined in the Top Bar area of the corresponding visual perspective). In this case you can turn the header of the form off completely but still display its caption. This option is especially useful if a form is displayed on mobile phones where screen real estate is limited.

If this option is selected a special CSS style is assigned to the default header – the caption is displayed with large bold letters in the middle of the header. This style is useful when the form is displayed on mobile phones.

Select this property to define how the header of the form will look like. The following options are available:

1. Classic Header
2. Custom Header
3. Show Wizard Steps
4. No Header

Aware IM can either display a classic header, a custom header or no header at all. The classic header includes a special area at the top of the form that may optionally contain the caption of the form, the icon and “tools” (form operations specifically designated for this area) – see the form below.

The orange area at the top represents the classic form header that may contain an icon, a caption and “tools“ (operations displayed in the Tools area of the form or query)

To define a custom header, specify HTML of the header. It will be displayed at the top of the form. The form below shows custom header with the following simple HTML:

 <span style='font-family:Arial;font-size:18px;color:orange;padding:15px'>REGULAR USER</span>

For forms with “wizard” navigation you can also select the “Show Wizard Steps” radio button. If this radio button is selected the panel header will only display the “stepper” widget and nothing else – see the Navigation Type property of the form.

Select this radio button if you do not want the Panel Header of the form to be displayed.

Select these radio options to display or hide the icon inside the header area of the form.

Tick these checkboxes to show caption or icon in the classic header.

If this option is selected the “tools” displayed in the header include an icon to collapse or expand the form

This option can only be used if “Panel can be collapsed expanded” option is selected. If this option is selected the form is initially displayed in a collapsed state.
