Generally headers and their fields are generated during Reference Data. But they can also be added directly in application.cfg. The latter giving less flexibility.

<headerConfiguration id="CustomCustomerHeader" enterKeyBehaviour="AcceptOnCompleted">
  <lines>
    <add id="5" name="PreviousPageValue" inputType="Text" label="Value from previous page" locked="True"/>
    <add id="10" name="CustomerId" inputType="Integer" label="Customer Id" defaultValue="" searchType="CustomerIdType"/>
  </lines>
</headerConfiguration>

id: Attribute only needed when the header configuration is created in application.cfg.
enterKeyBehaviour: Defines the behaviour for the enter key.
- AcceptOnCompleted: Move to next mandatory field and accept the header once copleted.
