If there are only **Generic **versions of views listed here and no Locale Specific Views, **please follow the [Creating a Locale Specific View](https://support.symbiant.co.uk/kb/creating-a-locale-specific-view/)**

**It is highly recommended NOT to save over generic views with Locale Language Changes**

## Editing a View

When on the view you wish to edit, select the three dots on the right side, and then **Set Up**,

This will add the three dots to every element on the view, from here you can select any element and enter **Set Up **mode once again,

Different elements will have different configuration options, however, the most important ones are;

1. **Info**- This is where you can add information text for the user to understand what kind of data they should be inputting or how this field is used,
2. **Bold -**Allows you to change if the caption is shown in bold or not,
3. **Caption**- The name of the field displayed to the user,
4. **Disabled?**- Disable the field removing the ability for users to input data,
5. **Hidden?**- Hides the field completely from users,
6. **Required?**- Forces the field to be filled out before saving.

## Moving Elements

You can also move elements around the screen by holding and dragging on the arrows on the left side,

## Renaming Captions

As you are editing a Locale View, some elements on a View have Captions which aren't translated through the pack, (Such as Grid Captions)

Enter **Setup** on these elements,

Locate the Caption in the Node,

Or a Grid Caption,

Translate and Enter the correct version in the Node,

Or Translate and Enter the correct version on a Grid,
