On forms which have label controls that represent column headers or have a matrix-like layout of controls, you must ensure that fields on the transformed page are displayed in the same layout as on the original form. To do this, you must set the FixedLayout property on the label controls that represent column headers. You can set the FixedLayout property in the Transformation Input File (TIF) Editor so that fields on the transformed page will be displayed correctly.
An example of a form in the standard application that has label controls that represent column headers on which you must set the FixedLayout property is form 39, General Journal. The label controls for Account Name, Bal. Account Name, Balance, and Total Balance have the FixedLayout property set in the standard application transformation input files.
Before you begin this procedure, you must do the following:
-
Install the Transformation Input File (TIF) Editor. For detailed steps, see How to: Install the Transformation Input File Editor.
-
Add your forms to the TIF Editor, either by importing the transformation input files for the standard application forms, or by using the Get Forms command. For more information, see the following topics:
