Operations Menu - Properties
This menu command opens the 'Form Template Properties' dialogue box. Here you can record the basic specification of the Form Template you are creating or editing.
- Code
- Enter the unique code of the Form Template: this is the means by which the Form Template will be identified elsewhere in Standard ERP. If you create a new Form Template by duplicating an existing one, you must enter a new Code here before you can save it.
- Printer Dialog
- Check this box to force a printer dialogue to be shown each time the Form Template is printed.
- Comment
- Enter text describing the Form Template here.
- The Comment will be shown in the 'Paste Special' list that you will use when assigning Form Templates to forms, so it should be descriptive enough to make the selection of the correct Form Template easy for all users.
- Document Type
- Paste Special Choices of possible entries
- Using 'Paste Special', enter one of the available Document Types into this field. When the time comes to add fields to the Form Template, only the fields available for that Document Type will be available in the 'Paste Special' list in the 'Field' dialogue box.
- PDF Code page
- Paste Special
Choices of possible entries
- If you will use the Form Template to create pdf files, specify here the code page that is to be used, if different to the default. For example, you may usually use the CP1252 code page, but you may need to use KOI8-R Cyrillic in a particular Form Template.
- This applies when the pdf file will be generated by Standard ERP. Please refer to the lower part of the Styles page for details about pdf generation.
- The default code page will depend on the language of the Standard ERP interface you are using, as follows:
| Language | Default Code Page |
| Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian | CP1257 |
| Polish, Hungarian, Slovak, Slovenian, Serbian | CP1250 |
| Russian, Ukrainian, Byelorussian | KOI8-R |
| Others | CP1252 |
In a multi-language installation of Standard ERP, it is recommended that you specify a PDF Code Page in every Form Template that you will use to create pdf files. Otherwise, Persons who use the Estonian and Russian interfaces, for example, will create pdf files from the same Form Template using different code pages.
- PDF Landscape
- If you will use the Form Template to create pdf files, use this option if you would like those pdf files to be created in landscape format.
- This applies when the pdf file will be generated by Standard ERP, in which case a landscape format specified using the 'Page Setup' function on the File menu would not be applied. Please refer to the lower part of the Styles page for details about pdf generation.
- Matrix Rows On
- Please refer to the Single- and Multi-Page Forms page for details about these options.
