When InfoMaker generates a basic report or form, it uses the extended attributes defined for the data and stored in the extended attribute system tables.
For more information about the extended attribute system tables, see Appendix B, “The Extended Attribute System Tables.”
In the Database painter, you can create the extended attribute definitions that specify a column's display format, edit style, and validation rules.
In the Report painter or Form painter, you can override these extended attribute definitions for a column in a report or form. These overrides do not change the information stored with the column definition in the extended attribute system tables.
