Editing the Panel Format

In this step you will use the Edit Screen Format Details panel to make the following two changes to improve the appearance of the Edit Horse panel.

1. Separate the individual subfile records with a blank line by typing Y (yes) against the Blank line between records field.
2. Place field labels before the fields on the second and third lines of the record, rather than above them, to clarify the information. CA 2E has four options for positioning the label associated with a field.
   • Above (A) - on the line above a field
   • Before (B) - on the same line as the field
   • Column heading (C) - above a column of instances of the field; this value applies only to a subfile record format
   • Drop (D) - omit the label

To reposition the labels on the second and third lines, you will type B against each of the Dam and Sire fields. Note that later in this tutorial you will use the Edit Screen Entry Details panel to overwrite the wording of the field labels.

Specify Y for the Blank line between records field and type B against each of the Dam and Sire fields.

Press Roll Up to display more fields. Type B as shown to position the labels for the Sire name and Sire Date of birth before the field on the same line.

Press Enter to confirm the changes. Note that the value in the LL (Label Location) column for each of the Dam and Sire fields has changed from C to B. Press Roll Down to view the preceding panel.
