Layout elements by field data type

You can use the data type of a field in the source structure of the form profile to control how this field looks in the form. Note: See also section Formatting via attribute "DataCockpit control".

Data type of field	Layout element
String	Small text field.
Blob	Large text field. Clicking on the icon on the right opens an HTML editor. Note: If the HTML editor is used, only the HTML code appears in the field and not the formatted representation.
Integer	Field for integer numbers.
BigDecimal	Only an integer or a decimal number can be specified in the field. Note: Whether a comma or a dot must be used as decimal separator in the form depends on the set DataCockpit language. Regardless of this, the form profile always receives a dot as the decimal separator (JSON-compliant). The field attribute "Template" should not be used.
Boolean	Checkbox. If set, "true", otherwise "false" is sent to the form profile.
Date	Date field. Clicking on the icon on the right opens a calendar dialogue. The field attribute "Template" must be set.
TimeStamp	Timestamp field. Clicking on the icons on the right opens a calendar or time dialogue. The field attribute "Template" must be set.
Double	This data type should not be used.
Float	This data type should not be used.
BigInteger	This data type should not be used.
