You use names to identify columns and other controls in filters and in InfoMaker expression functions.
The Report painter automatically generates names for all controls in a report. To name columns, labels, and headings, the Report painter uses database and extended attribute information. To name all other controls, it uses a system of prefixes. You can control the prefixes used for automatic name generation and you can specify the name of any control explicitly.
To specify prefixes for naming controls systematically
in a report:
Select Design>Options from the menu bar and then select the Prefixes tab.
Change prefixes as desired and click OK.
To specify a name of a control in a report:
Select Properties from the control’s pop-up menu and then select the General tab in the Properties view.
Type the name in the Name box.
