Customizing Cumulus : Record View Sets : Changing the Properties of a Displayed Field
   
Changing the Properties of a Displayed Field
The properties of a displayed field define the font (type, style, size, and color) used to display the field contents.
IMPORTANT! Font Settings are Operating-System Specific!
Cumulus uses different font settings depending on the operating system the Client runs on. Changing these settings in a Record View Set on a Windows Client will not take effect with Clients on OS X, and vice versa. To customize Record View Sets to have the same look and feel both on Windows and OS X, you have to perform appropriate changes twice, on a Mac Client as well as on a Windows Client.
To change the display properties of a field:
 
1. Select  Cumulus /  Edit > Preferences.
2. Click Record View Sets.
3. Under Set, select the View Set you want to edit.
4. Click the icon for the view you want to edit.
5. Select the entry for the field whose properties you want to change.
6. Click Properties.
This opens a dialog for defining the font attributes and – depending on the field type – additional properties.
7. Make your selections. The options differ depending on the field type. (See “Additional Display Properties for Different Field Types”, for more information on additional properties.)
8. Click OK to assign the selected properties to the field.
9. Click Apply. The field is displayed according to your settings.
