Glossary-2
field
A form element in fill view into which you can enter information. A
field might contain text, such as your name in a
Name
field, or
preformatted OmniForm Filler information, such as a check that appears
when you click a check box field.
field validation
In OmniForm, a feature that prompts a user to enter
specific data in a field or to not leave a specific field empty.
form usage
In OmniForm, how you can view and use a form.
found set
A subset of records in a database retrieved during a search.
Each record contains at least one piece of information that matches
criteria set during a search such as the same name in a
Customer
field.
image
An electronic picture of text and/or graphics such as a scanned
document or graphic file.
link
To match field data exported from a database to corresponding fields
in the import database. This ensures that OmniForm imports the proper
information into the proper fields.
Also, to place an OLE object in a form so that it retains a connection to
the original source file.
nondesigned form
A form in OmniForm Filler that is just an image
without fillable fields. You can print, fax, or mail this type of form.
Object Linking and Embedding (OLE)
A feature that enables users to
insert and use objects created in other applications into a form.
ODBC
An acronym for
Open Data Base Connectivity.
OmniForm uses an
ODBC data source, such as FoxPro, to import and export information to
and from a database. Database drivers are installed during OmniForm
installation.
original form
A form that retains both graphics and its original look when
in OmniForm Filler.
PCX
A graphic file format produced by some scanners.
recalculate
To reapply new or changed calculations to all selected records
in a database.
record
In OmniForm, a collection of all the information on a form.
Whenever you import or open a new form and fill it in, you have a new
database that consists of one record. You can create a new, blank record
using the first form as a template. The record looks exactly like the first
record, but it can be filled with different information.
smart naming
An OmniForm feature that automatically defines fields as
a part of Logical Form Recognition and places them in a logical order on
the form. If you scanned in an blank form, for example, OmniForm
would recognize a
Customer
field to be a fill text field. It would
automatically assign the name
Customer
to this field.
