By default, everything output by Genie will appear as output fields.

An output field element is a container for text or objects returned from JavaScript or a program.

Font colors, borders, labels.

Adding a Heading

If you need to add a heading label to a program, section, column or anything else on a screen, an output field is the ideal candidate.

Select Add Element -> Output Field from the design toolbar.









Then, you can simply edit the value in the Output Field Properties window to display whatever text you like.


All of the font, color and other appearance settings can be adjusted with the Properties window, as with any other element.

Adjusting Abbreviations

It is very likely that there are some space saving abbreviations in headings and labels on your system (qty - quantity, csz – city, state, zip). Now that Genie has given your system some new layout options, you may want to expand these abbreviations to their full values. In this example, we will change ‘script:value’ (Qty) to Quantity.
