parent. The number of pixels is defined in the
Y field for the block.
When set to Relative to Field, the upper left corner of this field
will be placed a fixed number of pixels from the bottom edge of the specified
field defined in the Y Anchor field.
In the Y Anchor property, select the field that will be used to determine the location of the field on the Y-axis. The property is only displayed when the Y Anchor Type pop-list is set to Relative to Field.
Set the Use Image Size property to the desired setting. When set to false, the field will be created with the width and height entered on the property sheet. When set to true, the field will be created with the image's width and height.
In the Width property, enter the
width of the field in pixels. This is the width
of the image to be displayed.
If you are using action images, this is width of the single image.
For more information, see the Action
Images section.
In the Height property, enter the
height of the field in pixels. This is the height
of the image to be displayed.
If you are using action images, this is height of the single image.

Example: an address block on a report may be fixed size, while the block for the line items on an invoice will be expandable so that all line items will be visible when the report is generated.
In the Target Columns property, select the column on the database entity block with which the value for this image field is associated. This property is only available for fields on Parameter Forms. This property generally will not be set for image fields on parameter forms as they do not set values to restrict the entity.
In the Hide If property, enter the conditions under which this field will be hidden. The field will be hidden on the block when the conditions are met. When an entry is made in this property, the Show If property will be hidden.
Expressions are entered in this field using formulas and are evaluated on the server side.
When the expression entered in this field evaluates to true, the field will be hidden. The evaluation of the expression occurs when the entity is generated, and not when the user is making modifications to fields on the block. (i.e. This does not "watch" user input in a field and dynamically show a field; everything is locked in when the entity is first output).
Example: $$VENDOR.ACTIVE$$ = 'Y'
Hide the field if the value of the active field on the vendor block
is set to Y when the entity is generated.
Example: starts-with( $$CUST_NO$$,
'NDS')
Hide the field only if the customer number starts with NDS.
The code entered in this field can
also include and/or expressions:
And is indicated by two ampersands &&
Or is indicated by two vertical lines ||
Example: ($$XEPHR_ENTITY_NAME$$='MENU')&&($$NEXTMENU$$='MM')
Hide this field if the current entity is the MENU entity and the NEXTMENU
global value is set to MM.
Example: ($$CUST_NO$$='NDS')||($$CUST_NO$$='')
Hide this field is the customer number global is set to NDS, or the
customer number global is null or doesn't exist.
In the Show If property, enter the conditions under which this field will be displayed. The field will be displayed when the conditions are met. When an entry is made in this property, the Hide If property will be hidden.
Expressions are entered in this field using formulas and are evaluated on the server side.
When the expression entered in this field evaluates to true, the field will be displayed. The evaluation of the expression occurs when the entity is generated, and not when the user is making modifications to fields on the block. (i.e. This does not "watch" user input in a field and dynamically hide a field; everything is locked in when the entity is first output).
Example: $$VENDOR.ACTIVE$$ = 'N'
The field will be displayed when the value of the active field on the
vendor block is N when the entity is generated.
Example: number( $$ORDER.TOTAL$$)
= 0
Displays the field if the value of the total field on the order block
is zero.
The code entered in this field can
also include and/or expressions:
And is indicated by two ampersands &&
Or is indicated by two vertical lines ||
Example: ($$XEPHR_ENTITY_NAME$$='MENU')&&($$NEXTMENU$$='MM')
Show this field if the current entity is the MENU entity and the NEXTMENU
global value is set to MM.
Example: ($$CUST_NO$$='NDS')||($$CUST_NO$$='')
Show this field is the customer number global is set to NDS, or the
customer number global is null or doesn't exist.
In the Z Order property, enter the
order in which the field will be displayed in comparison with the other
fields on the block.
Z order affects fields when they overlap one another. For
example, if you had 2 fields of the same size in the same location on
the block, one with a Z order of 10, and the other with a Z order of 20,
the one with the Z order of 20 will be displayed because it was generated
last.
Z order also affects the order in which the fields are selected when
tabbing through fields. Generally, tabbing through
the fields is ordered according to the order in which the fields were
output for standard fields such as checkboxes, text fields, links, and
might include images and labels depending on the browser . A
Z order of 1 indicates that the cursor should be placed in that field
when the page is loaded. Tabbing from that field
will take the cursor to the next highest Z order. If
two fields are assigned the same Z order, their output order in relationship
to each other is in effect random.
Different browsers may use a different tab order. Depending
on the browser, some field types may or may not be able to be accessed
by tabbing, including links, images, and labels.
In the Created on property, the date and time on which the field was created is displayed and cannot be changed.

Example: $$VENDOR.ACTIVE$$ = 'N'
The field will be displayed when the value of the active field on the
vendor block is N when the entity is generated.
Example: number( $$ORDER.TOTAL$$)
= 0
Displays the field if the value of the total field on the order block
is zero.
The code entered in this field can
also include and/or expressions:
And is indicated by two ampersands &&
Or is indicated by two vertical lines ||
Example: ($$XEPHR_ENTITY_NAME$$='MENU')&&($$NEXTMENU$$='MM')
Show this field if the current entity is the MENU entity and the NEXTMENU
global value is set to MM.
Example: ($$CUST_NO$$='NDS')||($$CUST_NO$$='')
Show this field is the customer number global is set to NDS, or the
customer number global is null or doesn't exist.
In the Z Order property, enter the
order in which the field will be displayed in comparison with the other
fields on the block.
Z order affects fields when they overlap one another. For
example, if you had 2 fields of the same size in the same location on
the block, one with a Z order of 10, and the other with a Z order of 20,
the one with the Z order of 20 will be displayed because it was generated
last.
Z order also affects the order in which the fields are selected when
tabbing through fields. Generally, tabbing through
the fields is ordered according to the order in which the fields were
output for standard fields such as checkboxes, text fields, links, and
might include images and labels depending on the browser . A
Z order of 1 indicates that the cursor should be placed in that field
when the page is loaded. Tabbing from that field
will take the cursor to the next highest Z order. If
two fields are assigned the same Z order, their output order in relationship
to each other is in effect random.
Different browsers may use a different tab order. Depending
on the browser, some field types may or may not be able to be accessed
by tabbing, including links, images, and labels.
In the Created on property, the date and time on which the field was created is displayed and cannot be changed.
In the Modified on property, the date and time on which the field was last changed is displayed and cannot be modified.
