Formatting control text

The Format area is used to design the appearance of read-only text or an editable control. Action controls do not use formats.

  1. Select a format (read-only) used with this property. Your selection filters the format options.
  2. Align the text by selecting a Text Alignment.

Obfuscating text entry

If the control Type is Text, you may select the Obfuscated option to display to the user the characters as a string of bullets.

The input characters are initially added to the clipboard as unencrypted, clear text values. The system computes the hashed value only as the page is committed to the PegaRULES database. The hashed value appears in both the clipboard and the database row.
