View one page at a time with Back and Next buttons to navigate pages in a sequence. This setting is how the pages of every form appear to form users. Card is the default Layout setting.
View the names of available pages in their own tabs. For convenience, designers can click a tab to navigate to the associated page in any order.
The highest number of characters a user can enter in the field. For example, to require an 8-digit number in a specific field, set the Maximum Length and Minimum Length properties for the field to 8.
The highest number of entries that are allowed in a table.
The lowest number of characters a user can enter in the field. For example, to require an 8-digit number in a specific field, set the Maximum Length and Minimum Length properties for the field to 8.
The lowest number of entries that are allowed in a table.
The name of the user or user account who modified the form.
The date on which the form object was last changed.
A unique string that identifies a form element. The system assigns an initial name (such as Var_3) that you can modify value. Changing the name value also changes the _id value.
Form elements can have two separate names: A Name property and an internal name that identifies the form element in the Form Designer.
A string that defines the format for numeric input in the field. For example, enter $#.## to display $3.14.
Specifies whether to arrange option groups and check boxes horizontally or vertically on the form. The default is vertical orientation.
The number of rows to display on each page of a table or simple array.

color:blue; textAlign:center; textDecoration:underline; textTransform:uppercase textIndent:30px; fontStyle:italic; fontFamily:"Courier"; fontSize:14px;
A number that controls the tab order of the form at design time and run time. The application does not enforce uniqueness. For example, you can use multiples of 5 or 10 as you set the tab order. Therefore, if you insert a new field in the layout between field 20 and field 25, you can assign its tab index to 22.
You can also leave the Tab Index value empty and click Move Up or Move Down in the toolbar to adjust the tab order. By default, the form tab order follows the layout from top to bottom.
Specifies how an image file appears in the portion of the form layout that it occupies. Images can be aligned left or right, centered, or justified.
