Tool Bar Tab of the Form Property Editor

The options and actions that appear on the Tool Bar tab allow you to customize the tool bar in the header area of a custom form.

Tip: To remove the entire toolbar, clear all of the check boxes in the following table.
Control Description
Options Select or clear check boxes as needed to show or hide:
  • Show item identifier

    The item ID, title, and transition name (transition forms only).

  • Show project item identifier

    The project and singular item name.

  • Show button bar

    The standard transition button bar at the top of the form. You might want to clear this check box if you added custom transition controls and want to limit the available transitions to those associated with those controls.

    CAUTION:
    If you clear this check box on transition forms, and do not map the OK and Cancel buttons to other controls on the form, you will get a validation error for each button, because the user will be unable to submit a form or cancel a transition before submitting a form.
