Long text type data

What it is.

This is an alphanumeric field for entering texts of more than 255 characters. It can be used to enter remarks, descriptions, annotations, etc.

Unlike text type data, long text has the option of styling the text, i.e. adding bold, colors, page breaks, etc.

How to configure it in the part model editor.

First, the type of data must be indicated in the drop-down menu, in this case "long text", then in the Data Name field the header of the data is indicated, this field is shown in the app when requesting the data to the mobile user, in the PDF generated with the work report filled in, appearing as header data, as well as in the Excel export as the column header.

Finally, a default value can be defined. Thus, when this long text data is requested, it is pre-filled and the user can simply add or edit it and modify the record.

The "required" check indicates that it is not possible to send without filling in the indicated data. Note that it does not work the same if the long text type data is located within a section in part lines or in part header or footer. In the first case, it will only be mandatory if a part line is registered, but in case of placing the data in the part header or footer, it will always be mandatory.

With the Check "visible PDF" you can manage whether it is displayed in the PDF or not.

How it looks in the application

When creating a record, you can select the long text data type in the document to add relevant information about the work performed.

In this case, the long text type data has been configured to add a diagnosis.
