When a field is added to an object, the Field Display Type must be defined, as well as parameters specific to the field.
- Examples
A Picklist might have these options:
- Yes | No | Maybe
- Strongly Disagree | Disagree | Not Sure | Agree | Strongly Agree
- OK | Good | Better | Best
- See Picklist for more information
A Date field might include:
- Date only: 10/27/2008
- Date and Time: 10/27/2008 11:30pm
- See Date Format for more information
A Checkbox field is used for a Yes / No or True / False choice.
Supported Field Display Types
Note: The field types listed below are types you can choose when creating a field. In addition, there is a Multi Value Lookup type, which automatically appears in the Form Layout field-list whenever two objects are joined by a many-to-many relationship.
