A form designer allows a forms manager to draw the form on screen and to define each of the fields that apply to that form. Traditionally, these types of applications generate a proprietarry (i.e. vendor-specific) form definition and style sheet. The form definition includes a list of fields used in the form along with their definitions and associated attributes which specify such details as: masking information, security, data type, field length, etc. The style sheet defines the background of the form, for example there may be horizontal and vertical lines, boxes, field labels and user instructions, shading, etc. 1, record 3, English, - masking%20information

La fonction de conception permet au gestionnaire de formulaires d'effectuer un croquis du formulaire à l'écran et d'en définir chacun des champs. Ces types d'applications débouchent habituellement sur une définition de formulaire et une feuille de style propres (au fournisseur). La définition du formulaire renferme la liste des champs utilisés, de même que leur définition et les attributs liés, qui précisent les éléments suivants : les données de masquage, la sécurité, le type de données, la longueur des champs, etc. La feuille de style définit le fond du formulaire, par exemple les lignes verticales et horizontales, les cases, les étiquettes de champs et les instructions aux utilisateurs, et l'ombrage. 1, record 3, French, - donn%C3%A9es%20de%20masquage
