Edit Text View
Edit Text View
An edit text view supports editing form values on a screen. This can be for new entry as well as editing existing values defined by the module.
General Information
An edit text view is defined with a percent (%) and the characters ET, followed by the view number. For example: %ET1. This is generally used on a form in order to allow a user to enter or edit a text value.
See MCI for general information on how to use views and common configuration properties available for them.
