Production Form Area
The name of your Production Form, specified in the General tab of
the Edit Production Form Properties dialog box, appears in the
Design field. Below that, the names of the data input fields in your
Production Form are listed in alphabetical order.
Production Output Area
Choices for the Type field are Card and Report. If you select Card,
the Design field shows the name of the card design for your ID Works
project or, if the project has more than one card design, it lists the
names of the available card designs in alphabetical order. You use
this list to select the card design to which you want to connect a
Production Form field. In the Field area, the names of card fields that
will change from card to card appear in alphabetical order. If you click
on a card field that is connected to a Production Form field, a line
appears showing the connection.
If you select Report for the Type field, the Design list contains the
names of the report designs created for the project, in alphabetical
order. You use this list to select the report design to which you want
to connect a Production Form field. The Field area lists the report
fields that will change from record to record. If you click on a report
field that is connected to a Production Form field, a line appears
showing the connection.
Static text, static graphic, and non-printable area fields on a card or
report block are not listed because they cannot be connected to a
field on the Production Form.
Connect and Disconnect Buttons
Two sets of buttons let you connect and disconnect fields. The
buttons between the Data Source area and the Production Form area
are for connections between fields in those two parts of the ID Works
project, and the buttons between the Production Form area and the
Production Output area are for connections between fields in those
two parts of the project.
