Before you start, ensure that you have set the path for value field meanings in the File Locations preferences dialog box.

Value field meanings are formatting for value fields applied at run time. The list of available meanings and their effect is product-specific.

To assign a meaning to a value field:

Select the value field you want to modify and double-click it to open the Value Field Properties dialog box.
Select an option from the Meaning list that best describes the meaning of the output of the value field.
For example, a value field meaning for Weight might add a unit postfix such as kg or lbs.
Click OK to save the changes.
