Forms
Each Pylon Pro database on the Palm device can contain exactly one
Form. A Pylon Pro Form design has support for up to 128 fields,
including the following field types:
Text
Date
Time
Numeric
Keyword
Checkbox
Rich-text (converted to text)
Images (if in a rich-text field named body)
Computed fields:
Computed text (read only)
A computed field formula that calculates each time a user
creates, saves, or refreshes a document.
Computed when composed (read only)
A computed-when-composed field formula that calculates only
once, when the user first creates the document.
In order for the fields to be computed during the sync from the
device to Lotus Notes, add $PylonAdvancedFormulas=1 to the
Notes.ini file. In the Pylon Configuration database, check Run
Compute with Form to enable the functionality.
Lookup—for more information, see “Implementing on-device
database lookups” (page 209).
Note Formulas are not supported except for in the Lookup field.
