Screen Designer Icons
Use the icons on the Screen Designer form to move, resize, and change labels for the fields on screens.

Select All | Use this icon to "lasso" (select) multiple fields at one time. For example, you can select multiple fields so that you can left-align them. Click the icon and then hold down the mouse and lasso the fields that you want to change. |
Align Left | Use this icon to left-align multiple selected fields. First, use the Select All icon to lasso multiple fields. Alternatively, select a field and then hold down the CTRL key to select the rest of the fields that you want to align. |
Align Right | Use this icon to right-align multiple selected fields. First, use the Select All icon to lasso multiple fields. Alternatively, select a field, and then hold down the CTRL key to select the rest of the fields that you want to align. |
Align Top | Use this icon to top-align multiple selected fields. First, use the Select All icon to lasso multiple fields. Alternatively, select a field, and then hold down the CTRL key to select the rest of the fields that you want to align. |
Align Bottom | Use this icon to bottom-align multiple selected fields. First, use the Select All icon to lasso multiple fields. Alternatively, select a field, and then hold down the CTRL key to select the rest of the fields that you want to align. |

Restore Location | If you want to restore Top/Left align properties to their original location, select the fields that you want to restore and click this icon. |
New Group Box | Use this icon to create a new group box. A group box consists of the box around a group of fields and the label of the group box. For example, you may want to create a group box labeled Address, which surrounds Street Address, City, State, and Zip fields. |
New Label | Use this icon to add a new label. When you select this option, a new custom label displays in the upper left corner of the form. Move the new label to the desired location and relabel the field by entering the name in the Caption field. |
New Help Text | Use this feature to create user-defined help for your tabs. Unlike the Tool Tip, Help Text allows you to format the text, as well as insert links to other help areas. After you create a Help icon, a user can click the icon to view the help. You can add as many Help Text icons as you like to the tab. |
New Workflow Button | Use this icon to add a workflow button to a tab.
Only those workflows associated with the particular application display in the Workflow field in the Screen Designer. If you add a workflow button, users can initiate a Scheduled Workflow for a particular Info Center record. You can also set up a workflow button for a Web Service Workflow, for a project plan or expense report. This option is not available in the Activities Manager Screen Designer. |
Delete | Use this icon to delete a selected field. Only those field labels that you created in the Screen Designer can be deleted in the Screen Designer. |
Help | Use this icon to display online help. |
