About data sources

A data source contains a list of variables fed by data from the same source. When you select a data source, you

are indicating where the required data is located, and what type of data it is. The data can be of internal origin

(Date, Counter) or external to the application (Database, direct data entry using the Form).

The following data sources are available in the Data Sources view: Database, Date, When Printed, Formula,

Table Lookup, Counter and Advanced.

Graduated rulers

Graduated rulers are used to view the position of the mouse and accurately place the various objects in the

document. They can be set in either inches or millimeters using the Tools > Configuration command.

The rulers allow you to pinpoint the position of the mouse pointer and place the various objects you include in

your document with total precision. They may be configured in inches or millimeters using the Tools >

Configuration > Display command. To modify the scale:

• Double-clicking on the left half of the horizontal ruler reduces the display scale.

• Double-clicking on the right half of the horizontal ruler increases the display scale.

• You can display the Zoom factor context menu by right-clicking on the horizontal ruler, or the

Orientation context menu by right-clicking on the vertical ruler.

Rotation button

Clicking on

located in the top-left corner of your documents allows you to rotate the document on the

screen 90°, 180°, 270°, or 360°. Screen rotation is merely a display feature, and has no effect on printing.

To rotate the document:

• Left-click the rotation button to rotate the document 90° to the left.

• Left-click the rotation button to rotate the document 90° to the right.

Note: You can obtain the same document rotation effect by using the View > Orientation command, or by

right-clicking on the vertical ruler to display the context menu.

Color palette

The color palette is displayed at the bottom of the workspace and allows you to modify the color of any object

in your document (text, barcodes, shapes, etc.).

To change the color of an object:

1. Select the required object.

2. Click on a color in the palette with the left mouse button to apply text, line or outline color.

3. Click on a color in the palette with the right mouse button to apply background color.
