Display Attributes

Determine where the field is displayed in the default form, and whether or not the field is required when adding or updating a record.

Default Value

In general, the default value you specify will be a simple String. For example: 'rush'. But it is also possible to select functions and specify arguments, creating a formula expression that returns the default value.

Considerations
  • The default value must resolve to the value of an entry in the list of enumerated items (not a label).
  • If the value resolves to a string which is not in the list of the enumerated items, it is as though no default were specified. Nothing is pre-selected in the Enumerated Field.

Role-Based 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 a field is added to a Form, the field visibility control is set to Visible by default
  • When a new role is added, that role receives Visibility rights to all the fields across all the objects
  • When this control is specified for a field, it will be enforced in the Field Audit Log; This means that the user Role determines whether a record is visible in an Audit Log

Description Information

Include a description of the field and its use. This information is only visible to users with rights to customize this field.
