Computed

A computed field holds a value that is automatically generated by the system based on a value entered in another field (for example, in the Sites module, when a value is entered into Latitude (DMS) and Longitude (DMS) fields, the Lat/Long Decimal value is automatically computed).

Audit

Audit Previous

Select the color used to display audit data in the Audit Trails module. Audit is used for current data, and Audit Previous is used for previous values.

Background Colors

Mandatory

Set a background color for mandatory fields. In this example, the Last: (Person Details) field has been made mandatory and a background color has been specified:

Mandatory field with background colour

By default no color is specified for the background of mandatory fields.

See Mandatory Registry entry for details about how to specify that a field is mandatory.

For accessibility reasons, a color selected by a user in the Options box takes precedence over a color set in the EMu Registry by an Administrator.

The Column Colour Registry entry can be used to provide a visual indicator of a field's importance; however if this Registry entry specifies a background color for a mandatory field, the color specified in the Options box will take precedence.

By default, no background color is specified for mandatory fields in the Options box so a Column Colour Registry entry setting will always apply until a user actively specifies a color in the Options box.

Both

Reset the color of text or mandatory fields to their default color.
