Types of Screens

Default Screen Thoroughbred Dictionary-IV automatically generates a default screen from the format if a custom screen does not exist. The default screen contains all Data Names defined in the format, is very basic in design, and cannot be altered.

Custom Screens You may want to use a screen that has fewer fields to maintain, or is organized or displayed differently. Dictionary-IV provides the ability to create your own custom screens.

In the screen header you may define the position and size of the screen.

In the Screen Editor you may enter text, data fields, special code characters, and display-mode characters. You may also preview your design as you create your Screen definition.
