Change the Properties for a Column in a Grid in a Hub

Use Screen Designer in the browser application to change the properties for columns in a user-defined or standard DPS grid in a hub.

For standard DPS grids, you can change only the hidden, locked, and required properties for a column.

For user-defined grids, you can also change a column's default value and display width properties. You can also change decimal places and minimum and maximum values for numeric-type columns and currency type for currency-type columns.

To change the properties for a column in a grid in a hub:

  1. In the Navigation pane in the browser application, open Screen Designer in one of the following ways:
    • Go to the Hubs section and select the hub that you want to customize, or go to the Settings section and select Accounting > Chart of Accounts to customize Chart of Accounts. On the form, select Design from the Other Actions drop-down menu.
    • Go to the Settings section and select Screen Designer. In the drop-down list in the title bar of the Screen Designer form, select the application that you want to customize.
  2. On the Screen Designer form, click the tab on which the grid is located.
  3. On the tab, click the grid whose column properties you want to change.
  4. In the Grid Properties section of the actions and properties pane of the Screen Designer form, click beside the Field Type field.
  5. In the Grid Columns section of the Grid Settings dialog box, click the row for the column whose properties you want to change.
  6. In the fields in the Column Properties section of the dialog box, make the desired changes for the grid column that you selected in the Grid Columns section. The fields in this section vary, based on the column's type and whether the grid is a user-defined or a standard DPS grid.
  7. On the dialog box, click Save.
  8. In the actions and properties pane of the Screen Designer form, click Save.
