Basic Information

Specify the basic characteristics of the field

Label
Enter a field label; This label is displayed on the Form
Display Type
The fields in this page will change, depending on the Field Display Type selected

Always Required
Checkbox
  • Default is unchecked
  • If checked, this field is required in All Forms and all API calls
Field Name
The name that will be used to reference this object. Must conform to the Field Naming Rules

Display Attributes

This section is displayed when adding a new field. It specifies the default attributes for the field, when it appears in a Form.

Required
Checkbox
  • Default is unchecked

Default Value

Specify the content to be displayed as the Default Value when adding a new record to this object, or use the interactive Formula Builder to define a default-value expression.
Considerations
  • For Lookup fields, the value must resolve to a record_id. (A user_id, for Lookups to the User object.)
    For example, this formula can be used to specify a default value for the record Owner, by using an email address to do the Lookup:
LOOKUP('USER','id','email="newOwner@OurCompany.com"')

Field Visibility

Set Field Visibility based on Role. This option defines the Roles that are permitted to view and use the designated Field. Available field settings include:

  • Visible
  • Read-Only
  • Hidden

This control is created when a field is added to an object.

Considerations

  • When this control is specified for a field, it means that the user's Role determines whether a record is visible in the Audit Log
