LOVs have the following qualities:

 Dynamic: The list entries can modify to reflect changes in the source data.

 Independent: The designer can invoke an LOV from any text item, or from outside a text item if called programmatically.

 Flexible: You can use the similar LOV to support various items, if appropriate (for example, product_ID and product_name).

 Efficient: You can design LOVs to reuse data already loaded into the form, in the other words of accessing the database for every call. That process is useful where data is relatively static.

Editors:

Along With a text editor enabled the user can view multiple lines of a text item concurrently, find and replace text in it and generally modify the value of an item from this separate window.

You can use one of three editors at run time that are:

• Form Builder default editor
•  User-named editor
•  System editor

Each text item has the default editor available, but you can design your own replacement editor for those items which have special needs such as huge editing position, window, title, and color.

Through overriding the default editor for a text item, you can give a larger editing window for items with potentially huge textual values. Possibly, use an external system editor.
