What does << _message >> do?

Hi,

I downloaded an FM example file and some

of the fields have << fieldName >> on the various layouts.

Anybody know why, what it does?

Thanks

Looks like a merge field, what example are you speaking of?

<<fieldName>> will put the content of that field on your layout. The advantage of that style instead of a text field is basically spacing. A field is exactly as big as you make it. A <<fieldName>> is as long or as short as the content.

Thanks for the info
