The Style field enables you to specify how a field is displayed on a Profile screen. You can select the following styles:
Adds a check box next to the field name, which enables or disables a setting. For example, use a check box for the Enable User field. If the check box is selected, the user account is enabled. If the check box is clear, the user account is disabled.
Adds a check box next to each option for a field. Users can select multiple options from the option list.
Displays a calendar icon next to a date field, such as Start Date. Administrators click the calendar icon to display a calendar control where they can select the date they want.
Allows the user to select a value for the field. Only one value is visible. Users click an arrow to see additional values in the list.
The user can select a single value from the list.
Provides the same choice of values displayed by a Drop Down style, but adds a text box where the user can enter a new value.
