Hi Colleagues,
I´m trying to create an Extension Field that will be use as introductory information to an RFX Tab. It should look like "pre text", not as a proper field.
Can you tell me what Type to use?
Also, can you tell me how to create a Divider?
Thsi information is not available int he system help.
Thanks
Natalia
Hi Picu,
For creating custom dividers you can create an extension field as data type Text and use the below code to populate the field:-
txt = "<font size=\"4\" face=\"calibri\" color=\"0000FF\"><MARQUEE WIDTH=100% BEHAVIOR=ALTERNATE ><b>User Actions</b></MARQUEE></font>";
bgText=doc.getExtensionField("Text_Test").get();
bgText.setText(txt);
I hope this will help you to resolve the issue.
Thanks,

Hi Picu,
You need to populate this field using the code on create of your document mentioned in my previous post.
You can change the font and style depending on your requirement.Don't forget to position your divider on the right place using the page customization.
Please revert for further help!

Hi Ankur,
Sorry, but i still don´t get the exact meaning of what you are describing. Can you add more detail?
What do you mean exactly with "Populate the field" where do i need to enter that code?
when creating a Document.. ? Users create documents.
I need to create the right UI , with the right fields, for them to populate those fields.
I really appreciate your help.
Thanks!
Creation of new divider is currently not supported. The suggested approach above may or may not work, but it is not something I would recommend doing as there could be potential undesired side effects especially when several of these fields are created in the system. Big text field consumes a lot of db column space when compared to other extension types and certain db’s have a max limit on this. If you hit this limit you will no longer be able to create ANY other extension fields on that object.
A workaround may be to create a String field (not a big text field) extension and populate it with underscores or something. This will look weird on the UI so I would do this only as a last resort.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Vikram
