You can select from existing ones plus Page Header and Page Footer, which are reserved formats that you can edit as required. To maintain a different format, click the Select select a format from the drop-down list, or enter a new format in the drop-down list.

The Object column holds the type of object – text or variable – and the Tag column holds the tag name for the object. The next column shows the text or the name of a variable to be displayed in this object. Row, Col, Height and Width columns show the location and size of the object.

Each object shown in the statics view has a corresponding select box at the far left of the screen. These are used to select objects when building a clipboard fragment.

To access an object's properties, select the Change view icon to display the Object Properties Grid. This displays the object's properties which can be directly selected and amended.

Note: Setting the Enable Object Properties in Views option in the Developer Options window ensures that the icon appears in the Development Views.

Alternatively select the object, and then click theicon on the PROIV Developer Toolbar to display the selected object properties.
