22.3. Customizing the Data Entry View Images

Data entry images appear in the upper portion of the Data Entry View. You can specify an image for the left and right sides separately (as highlighted below).

Important: Custom data entry image files must be stored in your resources repository. Otherwise, you will not be able to access them from the LincDoc Admin dialog box (as described in the sections below). For more information, see About Provided Repositories.

Proceed to one of the following sections below for more information:

Customizing the Data Entry View Header Images

Use the following steps to change the data entry images to a custom image (.jpg, .gif, or .png) for each form.

  1. Verify that the image file you want to use has been added to your resources repository. For more information, see Adding Local Files to Your Directory Structure.

    Tip: You can access the resources repository's Browse dialog box using the Repositories dialog box.

  2. From the Form Selection Drop-Down List, select the eForm or Document Package whose images you want to customize.
  3. Open the Admin dialog box.
  4. On the eForm or Document Package tab, locate the Data entry header settings.
  5. Click the select button for the image you want to define (left or right side).
    The Select data entry header dialog box appears for the side you select.
  6. Locate the desired image file in your resource repository's directory structure, and click it to select it.
  7. At the bottom of the Select data entry header dialog box, click the select button.
    You are returned to the Admin dialog box, and the selected image is displayed adjacent to the corresponding setting. In the following example, the Data entry header left setting is using a custom image.
  8. At the top of the Admin dialog box, click save.
    Your new image(s) will now appear the next time the Data Entry View is accessed.

Changing a Custom Data Entry Image

If you have specified a custom data entry image, and you want to specify a different image, simply use the select button (as described in the section above) and choose the new file from your repository.

It is not necessary to reset the image and then select the new image. Resetting, described below, should only be used when you want to return an image to its default.

Removing Custom Data Entry Images

You can delete your custom data entry images, returning to the original, default images, using the reset buttons.

  1. From the Form Selection Drop-Down List, select the eForm or Document Package whose images you want to customize.
  2. Open the Admin dialog box.
  3. On the eForm or Document Package tab, locate the Data entry header settings.
  4. Click the reset button the corresponds to the custom data entry image that you want to remove.

    Note: Only settings that show a custom image are currently using one (in the example below, the Data entry header left setting is using one such image).


    When a reset button is clicked, the corresponding custom image is removed.
  5. At the top of the Admin dialog box, click save.
    The original, default image(s) will now appear the next time the Data Entry View is accessed.
