The order of displaying the properties in a form element corresponds to the column sort order defined in the menu item.

    TIP: If you want to display a line in a form element to visibly separate the information, enter a minus sign (-) in the column to be displayed.

    You can use scripts in the column definitions to affect the value displayed in the column. The column definition is activated when you click and hold on the column name. Extend the column definition as follows:

    Column[S(script name)]

TIP: You can open an interface form by clicking the caption in the form element header.
