When looking at a record in iOS I have some note fields, but only part of the note field is displayed. If I tap on the field the entire contents of the note are shown. I would like to set it up such that the entire content of the note is shown by default and a tap is not required to view it in it’s entirety. Is this possible and if so, how do I go about accomplishing this? Thank you!
Hi,
Go to the Customize Form screen for your form. Then tap on your Note fields, then tap on the # Summary Lines option and set the value to 0 (zero). Then view your record and all the Note field’s data should appear there.
Thanks,
Brendan
Thank you for the reply and help. I do not see an option for “# Summary Lines” for the Note field. I am using the editor on the Mac. Please see attached image.

I think I may understand now. You are referring to the field options on the iOS device and not on the Mac Form Editor. Might I suggest adding the same options present on the iOS device to the Mac based form editor? Thank you for your help!
Ah whoops. Ya, the iOS version is what I was thinking about because that’s the only version that displays a few lines of a Note field until you tap on the Note field to view its entire contents.
The reason I don’t have that option on the Mac version is because the NSTextField control I’m using on macOS doesn’t support the # of lines option. But on iOS, the UILabel control does. So macOS just displays the full contents of the field value.
That makes a lot of sense! Thanks for explaining. Great app by the way. I use it to manage drug dosages in the ambulance.
