Hello,

I want to ask you, if I can change field description, see picture in appendix.

For example: Pevny termin dodani: It is not necessary to fill.


Thank you for your answer.

    If you want to change the description of the label:

    If this is a page : Design the page and change the caption of the field. Then save and compile the page.

    If this is a report request page : Design your report, then click on the request page from the view menu. After that change the caption of the field. Once you completed save and compile your page.

    If you want to change the tool tip.

    If this is a page : Design the page and go to properties of the field. In that you will see a "ToolTip", Change the description as you want. Then save and compile the page.

    If this is a report request page : Design your report, then click on the request page from the view menu. Go to properties of the field. In that you will see a "ToolTip", Change the description as you want. Once you completed save and compile your page.

    In order to perform above tasks you need to have a developer license and if not you need to contact your NAV partner.

    hi,

    to edit pages and other nav objects you need a developer license.

    edit the page in the development environment.

    there you have the property CaptionML for each field to change the description/label of the field. you can also set tooltips.

    Is it a report or Page?

    Go to the particular control/field and select properties

    Search for ToolTip property and change the value here.

    Hi,

    Do you want to change the caption of the field?

    If yes then you can change the caption from the page designer but it needs access of development environment.
