  • Font – the Font button opens a commonly used font control.
  1. Click OK to save and close the form, or Cancel to close the form without saving.

Tips

  • A footer can be made inactive from within the form itself by ticking the Inactive checkbox.
  • A Custom Footer is not the same as a Customer Message.  Please don’t confuse the two.  See the related topic, “Customer Message List” for more info.
