Placement indicates, where the picture is to be placed: On input form page
stretched, fill input form page (tile picture if necessary), left/right and/or
above/down.

Filling: You can select a gradient with up to three colours or select the system
standard.
Appearance condition: You can specify a condition for the visibility of a tab. This can
be used, for example, to display a whole group of fields only to certain users or only
if a field within a record has a certain value.
19.4 Inserting fields and buttons
In the input form designer, objects always have a rectangular shape and are enclosed by
a frame with which their size and position can be changed. This frame represents the
space that the object takes up in the workspace and therefore the maximum size to
which the contents of an object can expand.
Objects may overlap completely or partially, and the overlapped object may be covered.
Object defaults
For every object type you can set certain default settings that become active when
inserting such an object. By selecting appropriate default settings you can save time
when inserting and configuring objects.
For the object settings, there are three hierarchical levels:
L e ve l 1 - G lobal fon t se ttin g : Applies to all objects in all tabs. Only font settings are
possible for global default (Level 1) because all objects do not have the same color or
appearance properties. The global font setting can be selected with the command
Se ttin gs > D e fau lt F on t .
L e vel 2- Object type-specific settings: Applies to all objects of a certain type. The defaults
for the individual object types (Level 2) can be set in one and the same dialog. This dialog
can be opened with the command Obje ct > D e fau lts . For every object type a tab is
available. To change the default settings for a certain object type, click on the desired
tab. Click through the tabs in which you wish to change settings. The input form designer
remembers all changes you make. The changes affect all newly inserted objects as well
as existing objects that are not locked or manually changed.
L e bel 3 - Object settings: Applies only to the one, currently selected object (Edit > Edit
Obje ct)
The global font setting (Level 1) and the object type -specific settings (Level 2) are
defaults, while the object settings (Level 3) can only be set retrospectively for existing
objects. If you make settings on the different levels, the settings for the higher level
