Decimal An integer to indicate how many decimal places to display (note that zero is also valid).
Name Any value is acceptable.
Reuse
•  Global – User will only be prompted once per set of forms. One example is using the Reuse/Global token with the Generic Date Prompt to prompt the user only once for a date and use the same date for each instance of where a generic date prompt is used. When using this value, a second token, Name, must also be used. The Name token must have a user-defined value. This allows the user to create one generic date prompt to be used for one set of dates on a single form and a second prompt to be used for a second set of dates on the same form.
•  Local – User will be prompted once per form created.
•  None – User will be prompted at every instance of the token and is the default
Multi-limit Integer – Limits the number of values that will return in an expanding table. It is best for all tokens in the table to have this value set in order to limit the rows. The component processes the tokens in an internal word order using the value for the first one it runs across, which might not be the one on the left. So, it is best to put the parameter on all tokens in the table.
Mask
Integer – Specifies the number of characters at the beginning of a string of text that will not be printed on a form.
Note: Spaces are considered to be characters.
Required Displays the name of the token word instead of blank data in the merged document on the local system. When this parameter is used and the data is null, an error appears in the message area, and the user can edit the merged form in the window.
