## General Settings

This type of field allows the developer to create quickly fields to display data from the database, where the final user can see the data in the way it was set by the developer.

#### Type of Data

Defines the type of the field in the application. In this case we should select Text.

#### Label

Defines the title that will be displayed in the field when the application is executed. The terminology used in the interface is fundamental to the system have a good usability, whe should use names and familiar terms to the final user of the application, instead of using terms from the system.

For example, this text field that has the name customerid, the client would have a much better understanding of the functionality of the field when we define the label as Customer Name.

Not only a fixed text, the Label attribute allows the use of langs to define the field’s title, making it possible to use your application in a multi language project.

#### Case Settings

This option allows the developer to inform how the text will be displayed in runtime.

The options available are:

Lower Case: Every letter in the text will be converted to lower case.

Upper Case: Every letter of the text will be converted to upper case.

Capitalize first word: The first letter of the first world will be converted to upper case.

Capitalize all words: The first letter of every words will be converted to upper case.

#### Show HTML Content

When this option is active every HTML, CSS and JavaScript content that are in the database will be displayed with the main value.

#### Field Mask

Defines the field mask. There are two types of mask described in the table below:

Character | Description
--- | ---
X | It is overridden by any characters returned by the database. Filled is required and the value will be completed with leading zeros when there are fewer characters than the size of the mask.
Z | It is overridden by any characters returned by the database. Its filling is optional and when there are fewer characters than the mask size, nothing will be done about the characters that are missing. In addition the leading zeros will be suppressed. When used in conjunction with the X necessarily the use of this character is to the left of the mask.
9 | It represents any numeric character (from 0-9)
A | It represents an alpha numeric character (A-Z,a-z)
* | It represents any alpha-numeric character (A-Z,a-z,0-9)entered by the user.

For example, it is possible to set the mast to display a telephone number:
