You can use the Include all and Exclude all buttons to move the entire list of fields back and forth between Included Fields and Excluded Fields lists. You can also drag and drop individual fields back and forth between the field lists. The order that the fields appear in the Included Columns list is the default order that will be used for the form, so drag and drop the included fields into the order you prefer.

By default all fields are put into one field group with the default label, New Group. You can change the label by clicking the group item, which displays the Name property under Properties where you can enter a new label value. You can use the + Add Group button to add one or more field groups to the Included Fields list with the default label, New Group. You can populate any field group by clicking the down arrow on the group item to open it and dragging and dropping fields from one field group to any other open field group. Field groups do not appear in your form unless you populate them with field items and you have more than one field group created. At runtime, field groups are displayed as tab folders on the form.

When you select an field item in the Included Fields list, you can view or set the following Properties:

Format: This can be used to customize how the field is presented. Use the argument {0} to represent the content of the field. You can also add additional text to be displayed. For example, if a field holds a numeric value measured in kilograms, {0} kg appends " kg" to every value of the field. You can also add specifiers to control the format of the field. If a field is a date value, you can specify that it display dates in long form, e.g., Wednesday, October 3, 1997, using this syntax:

Label Text: A field label that you can change from the default, which is the Label set for the selected field in the view data source.

Field Name: Read-only name of the selected field in the list.

You can also set additional properties and events under Editor Type. These are properties and events for the specified editor type that you can change to modify its default appearance and behavior in the form, as described below.

Id: A unique string with a default value that is automatically generated by the Designer for each component. You can edit the Id to a more meaningful value as you require; however, it cannot be empty and must be unique among all the editor type Id values in the view.
