44 Plan and Create the Production Form
ID Works Standard and Enterprise Version 5 Administrator’s Guide
Size
You can specify that your Production Form be limited to one of five
fixed sizes or that its size adjust automatically to accommodate the
fields you add. Adjusting automatically is the default for a new
Production Form.
Specifying a fixed size may be important if you want to make sure
Production operators with small monitors will be able to enter data in
all fields without scrolling.
If you specify a fixed size for your Production Form, ID Works
Designer checks each current field and reports any that lie outside
the right or bottom boundary of the Production Form. In addition, the
software prevents you from dragging fields off the Production Form.
See the online help topic “Set Production Form size” for step-by-step
instructions.
Types of Production Form Fields
Fields are the building blocks of your Production Form. You must
create a field for each item you want to appear on the form, each
piece of variable data you want to appear on your cards or reports,
and each field you want to connect to a database.
ID Works Standard Designer includes ten types of Production Form
fields: text, photo, date, signature, list, composite, print count, auto
sequence, static text, and static graphic. ID Works Enterprise
Designer adds the binary field type for a total of eleven types of
Production Form fields.
