Customize Group Boxes with Screen Designer (Desktop)

You can use Screen Designer in the desktop application to add new group boxes or change the labels for existing group boxes.

A group box is the box around a group of fields and the label for the box, if one exists. For example, you may have a group box labeled Address, which surrounds the Street Address, City, State, and Zip fields. The fields within the group box are not "linked" to the group box. If you move the group box, the fields within the box remain in the same place.

To customize a group box:

1. In the desktop application, display the screen (form) that contains fields that you want to customize and click the Screen Designer icon at the bottom right of the screen.
2. On the Screen Designer form, to select a group box and all the fields within it, complete one of the following actions:
   • Click outside the group box and drag the mouse over the entire box to lasso all the fields within it.
   • Press the SHIFT key and then click the group box and each individual field within it.
3. To add a group box, click New Group Box.
4. To move a group box, drag the box to the new position or use the Position fields on the Properties pane to specify the location.
5. To resize a group box, drag the outlines of the box or enter dimensions in the Height and Width fields on the Properties pane.
6. To add a label for a group box, enter the label in the Caption field on the Properties pane.
7. Drag fields into the group box and arrange them in the sequence that you want.
8. To delete a group box that you added with Screen Designer, select it and click Delete.
9. Click OK.
