The customizations that can be made to fields by view profile are as follows:

• Caption (label change)
• Hint (tooltip when mouse pointer hovers over field)
• Read-only
• Hidden
• Specific data entry format for user-defined fields (see Customizing a User-defined Field)

To Customize a Field by View Profile:

1. Create a new view profile or modify an existing profile.
2. On the View Profile dialog box, select an application and module from the list in the left pane.
3. Select a tab from the Tabs table.
4. In the Fields table, click on a field, then click in the Caption cell and type a new label for each field that you want to customize.
5. Optionally, click in the Hint cell and type the text you want to appear when the mouse pointer hovers over the field in the Suite application.
6. Click on the Read-only checkbox to make information in the field non-editable; click on the Hidden checkbox to remove the field from the tab for the specified module for all user groups that have been assigned to the view profile being edited.
7. If an edit mask is being used for a field that is of data type “String” or “Number,” select the mask from the dropdown list or click in the cell to enter a new edit mask.
8. Click Save.

  Click the Carry button to propagate the selected setting (enabled/disabled) to all the remaining fields in the column.

9. Click Refresh Server to implement the changes immediately. Otherwise, the changes will not occur until Suite Manager is closed.
