Maintaining a Text Area for an Agency View

On the Text Area component, you can specify the database field and the tooltip used for a text area. A text area is a text box that enables the user to display a larger panel in which to enter text. Text areas can be displayed within larger user interface controls, such as a list, details area, accordion, or collapsible container.

Note: To use a text area field in an agency view, the corresponding agency entity field must be configured with a MaxLength validation rule that has a MaxAllowed argument. Any value can be used for the argument.

To access the Text Area component, go to the Agency View Summary and open the control that includes a text area. On the summary component for that control, locate the row for the text area, and then select Open from the Actions menu on the text area's row.

You can view or change values in these fields:

Click in a field and add, change, or delete information as needed.

The field name entered in the Source field must be formatted as Entity.FieldName. If the control that contains the text area field is based on an agency entity rather than a system entity, you can also use a field from the agency entity's parent by formatting the field name as ParentEntity.FieldName.

When you are finished making changes, click the Save button. The system displays a message to confirm that your changes were saved.
