Notepad or Notepad fields are used to store the large amount of text. This type of a field is used for example in History or Ticket Problem Description. The field has two modes indicated by its two icons: empty notepad and filled notepad which contains data. Notepad fields could be of several types:
• | Append – when User can only add text to the end of the existing text
• | Prepend - when User can only add text to the beginning of the existing text
• | Read-only – User can only read text (usually system generated, i.e. History)
• | Editable – User can edit and delete any text in the field.
You can constrain the Form search using a combination of regular fields and Notepad fields. In order to constrain your search - open the Notepad field (when Form is clear) and type in the search string, press and then use Search Button in the Form containing the Notepad field. When Notepad is open – you cannot use any other controls in the system until you close the Notepad.
