Component Property Definitions

When you click on each component's property, a description of that property appears below the grid as a quick reference. The table below describes the various field properties available.

Component Property	Definition
Behavior Item	Establishes the default behavior for the component, which is limited to two options: Save Requestor Cookie - Adds a Remember Me checkbox to the form, which, when enabled, saves the requester's name, address, and contact information for future use. Use Requestor Address - Adds a Use Requester Address checkbox to the form, which, when enabled, carries the requester address over to the Location Address fields on the form. Note: The Behavior feature is only available on Request Submittal forms.
Caption for Asset	Identifies the descriptive text that appears above the field when the Asset is selected on-screen.
Caption for Type	Identifies the the descriptive text that appears above the field when the Asset Type is selected on the screen.
Component Height	Controls the height of the field (in pixels) as it appears on the screen.
Component Type	Indicates the type of component in the field (for informational purposes only).
Component Width	Controls the width of the field (in pixels) as it appears on the screen.
Control Type	Defines how code-description fields are displayed on-screen. Components can be displayed as one of the following: Combo box - A series of boxes used to select Assets. Sewer pipes and storm conduits have dual combo boxes. Drop-Down List - Lets users select text in the description field. Dual Drop-Down List - Lets users select the code or description field. Dual Textbox - Lets users manually enter a code or select the code/type from a pop-up list. Textbox Control - Lets users manually enter data, which the system then validates when the user exits the field. Note: The type of component in the field determines which Control Types are available; however, for almost every type of component, at least one option displays both the codes and types field information so that the user can select a specific item when the type information is the same for two different codes. The single drop-down items are intended for use if you do not have duplicate items in your list. If you do have duplicate items, such as two problems with the same type but different codes, then you should select the control type that will display both the code and the type.
Carry Over	Enables/disables the green Carry Over button for the selected field. To prevent users from seeing Carry Over buttons throughout the entire form, the grid the form is attached to must be edited to hide the Display Carry Over Buttons button. More details Note: Fields marked as read-only never display the Carry Over button in Lucity Web, even if this option is enabled.
Default Asset	Determines which Asset will automatically appear in this field when a new record is created. Unless the field is marked as read-only, the user can overwrite the default before submitting the form.
Default or Default Value	Determines what value will automatically appear in this field when a new record is created. Unless the field is marked as read-only, the user can overwrite the default before submitting the form.
Default Date Time	Establishes a date or time to be used when a new record is created. Unless the field is marked as read-only, the user can overwrite the default before submitting the form.
Default Now	When enabled, uses the current date or time as the default when a new record is created. Unless the field is marked as read-only, the user can overwrite the default before submitting the form.
Default Location	Identifies the initial placement of the frame (for reference only).
Default Type	Indicates which Asset Type automatically appears when a new record is created. Unless the field is marked as read-only, the user can overwrite the default before submitting the form.
Facility Option	Determines how a control that selects asset records from various modules displays Facility Asset Types on-screen: Standard List: Makes no change to what Facility assets the user can select. After the user has selected the type of asset they are given a list of all assets of that type. Building-Driven List: Controls what Facility assets the user can select filtered down by Building. If the user selects Roof, Room, Furnishing, Floor, or Door as the Asset Type, then the user is required to select a Building. The user is then given a list of assets of the selected type that are related to the selected building. Site-Driven List: Controls what Facility assets the user can select filtered down by Site and Building. If the user selects Building as the Asset Type, then the user is required to select a Site and then select an associated Building. If the user selects Roof, Room, Furnishing, Floor, or Door as the Asset Type, then the user is required to select a Site, then select a Building. The user is then given a list of assets of the selected type that are related to the selected building and/or site.
Fields Table ID	Displays the Field ID from the *FIELDS table (for informational purposes only).
Force Association	Work Flow pop-ups, such as those used to identify the Problem and Cause, are "force-associated" with Categories. Therefore, only the Problems (or Causes, etc.) that are associated with the Category may be selected by the user. However, if a Show All function is available, users can choose Problems or Causes that are not associated with the Category. If Force Association is set to True, the Show All option will not be available; only the forced association categories will appear. If Force Association is set to False, the Show All option will be available only to users with the "Show All Enabled" permission in Security.exe. Note: The Show All option is available only if the ControlType is set to "Dual Textbox." Caution: If a Category does not have Problems, Causes, etc. associated with it, or, if a Problem identifies a default Supervisor who is not also associated with the Category, users without "Show Enabled" permissions will be unable to complete the web form if the Problem, Cause, or Supervisor field is required. These associations and defaults are established in the Lucity Desktop application, under Work Flow Setup. We recommend thoroughly testing all forms before implementing their use.
Hidden	Indicates whether the field is hidden.
Hidden Asset	Hides the drop-down list for selecting specific Assets.
Hidden Type	Hides the drop-down list for a Code Type field.
Label	Specifies the text that appears above a field (other than Asset or Asset Type fields).

Limit Type	Allows only certain asset types to be entered on the form.
Location	Indicates the location of the component on the screen. This value is automatically updated as the user drags and drops components in the WYSIWYG editor.

If the user selects Park Furniture, Court, Field, Structure, Playground Equipment, Parking Lot, Path, Landscape Area, Irrigation Controller, or Irrigation Valve as the Asset Type, then the user is required to select a Park. The user is then given a list of assets of the selected type that are related to the selected park.
