Centralize field information (label, widget, default value)

Specifying field properties at the meta-schema level allows you to centralize properties such as the label, widget, and default value.

  1. Open the meta-schema file (4db).
  2. Select a column in the table and set its Default value and/or label properties.
    Note: For Genero Studio for Report Writer, setting the widget property has no influence.
    For example, if you set the state field's label property to State, you are providing a default Label to be written to the data schema.

    This figure shows an example of setting the Label property for the supplier.state field at the meta-schema level.
  3. Repeat for all fields to which you want to centralize information.
  4. Save the meta-schema file.
