Introduction

The object type SwatText is a control to add a rich text editor to a panel of a screen. With this control it is possible to add formatted text to any record you want. The text will be saved in the Build.One database and the internal selfhdl (Build.One GUID) is used as the unique reference between the text and the record (this works for Build.One database as well as for every other integrated customer database).

How to use

You can add the control to every panel or within a page of a SwatTabbar.

2. RecMode = MULTI

5. Go to the flow designer and add a link from the datasource to the text control. Linktype = Display
