To assign a string display type to a String variable
1. In the editor, select the String variable to which you want to assign properties.
2. In the Properties view, under General, assign one of the following values to the String display type field:
Select... | If you want the input... |
Text Field (default) | Entered in a text field |
Password | Entered as a password, with asterisks reflected instead of characters |
Large Editor | Entered in a large text area instead of a text field. This is useful if you expect a large amount of text as input for the field, or you need to have TAB or new line characters in the input |
Pick List | To be limited to a predefined list of values Next to Pick list choices, click ![](../b2b-integration-compendium/images/elipses.gif) to define the values that will appear as choices when Designer prompts for input at run time. |
Note:
These options are not available for Objects and Object lists.
3. Click File > Save.
