Prompts are positioned to the left of an item, with 0.1" between the rightmost character of the prompt and the start of the item (OMS-75009).
Prompts should normally be drawn on a single line. In the case of a multi-line field, the prompt may occupy multiple lines but should still be a single boilerplate item (with a return between lines) and should not extend below the bottom of the field. Prompts may also be in multi-line format for T-lists. Multiple line prompts may also be used for isolated fields that are not stacked immediately above or below another field.
(OMS-75009) Specific settings are enumerated below:
Prompt Display Style: First Record
Justification: End
Attachment Edge: Start
Alignment: Center
Attachment Offset: 0.1"
Alignment Offset: 0.0"
(OMS-75025) Prompts may be drawn above a field where items are part of a two-dimensional matrix.
When a poplist is used as a prompt, the poplist should have a font weight of medium (OMS-74030). The background color must match the canvas color.
(OMS-75026) Each prompt value in the list should have a trailing colon (for example, "Name: "). In addition, once a value is selected from the poplist, the cursor should automatically move to the field that the poplist identifies, and clear the previous data if it is no longer applicable.
