I would like to increase width of lotus notes text field on web, I have tried
width="48"
On html tab of the field and put there in style tag but that is not working.
Basically I am having comment field which wherein I would like to increase width of the field so user can see enter long text instead of typing and getting moved.
P.s I know richtext field which can have cols and rows property but I dont need rich text field. I just need simple text field.
Use colon and not an equals sign and add px. So do this instead:
width:48px;

I want to add a footer to a Lotus Notes document. The Lotus Notes form "Printing" tab allows me to add a footer. However I would like to calculate the footer based on the value of a field on the form rather than just adding text. Is there a way of doing this?
Unfortunately, you can't show field content in print footer.
The only thing possible is inserting document's window title with &W.
Form's Window Title formula can be calculated with field contents.
I have created a custom entity and I have some new fields created.
Ex: StudentCarrierTypeInformation (field name)
datatype: single line of text
I put this field on the form, and when I see this in the front end of the form, the field name is truncated.
It is like StudentCarrierTy. The rest of the name is truncated in the form.
I think its label has length only 20 I guess.
Is there a way to display the field name which is longer as I have above?
I was able to fix this myself. I navigated to the the form and went to the field properties and edited the same to 200 pixels.
You can set the Field label width from Section properties. Default is 115 (shown below) and Maximum is 250.
After making changes to 250, If label text is still hiding - then use the Field label position in Formatting tab of Section properties.
Tooltip will show full text in any case.
I have a form, say A, inside this form I'd like to have an editable text field which can be maintained by a CMS content editor.
I was told that we cannot do it.
So I am wondering that can we make an editable text field some where else, e.g. the Webpart which contains the form, and display the text inside the form A?
Also, I do not want to save the text into the data table which maps to this form.
Here is the form
"Our staff will endeavour to respond to your message within 2 business days."
This is the text that I want to make an editable text field for.
If the editable text is NOT part of the form then there is no need to have it "inside" the form or as a form field. You have a few options to add this editable text:
Inside any WYSIWYG editor, you can place a form or use the widget to add a form. As long as your editable text is outside of the actual form, you can place this text before or after the form widget.
In the form itself, add a new Layout and place the form field labels and value macros as well as your custom text inside there.
You can create Categories which will group fields underneath that category together on the form. See image below for an example. This is a good way to store some "grouping" text for those similar fields. This has to be edited within the form itself.
Is it possible to make only a specific part of a string bold in a computed field or text object.
Try a RichText control. It will give you more control over the look of the text.
I need to check if a field is of type "Rich Text" using #Forumla in a View. How can I achieve this?
Alternatively, check the byte size of a field also using #Forumla in a View.
You can turn Rich Text into plain text using the #Abstract formula, and then display that in the view. Unfortunately #Abstract does not work in views.
If views themselves won't get the job done, you can always use an agent to process the documents and set a document item value, which in turn can be shown in a view. It's an extra step but often can get the job done. Using LotusScript you could loop through all the document's items and check if they are a RICHTEXT type, and then stamp the document with an "IsRichText" item set to "Yes", for example.
Formula language will not show these values. The closes you can get is #Length. If it is possible in the design, calculate these values is a separate field using lotus script.
