Figure 98: Document types – attributes: layout options for attribute fields

See the table below for the description of different screen sections.

Section	Description
Color	Color for Text, Background, and Border Enter a hexadecimal value or click on the color icon next to the input field to open the color picker, where you can select the desired color.
Column Settings	The following settings are available: Width: Specify the parameter in pixels. “-1” (default) means that the value is ignored and the hit list itself controls the width dynamically. Alignment: Possible values are “Left” (default), “Right”, and “Center”. Wrap Words: The option specifies if the text in the column breaks if it is longer than the width of the column.
String Layout	An Input Mask can be defined for an attribute to specify the format of a string. Example: a serial number or a phone number Example mask (serial number): a9a9-a9a9-a9a9 Explanation: The serial number consists of 3 parts divided by a hyphen. Each part consists of two alpha and two numeric characters in turns. Possible value is a1b2-c3d4-e5f6. The value stored in this case is a1b2c3d4e5f6. The mask is shown when entering the value and when viewing the document in the hit list or in the preview.
