Defining Fields

This section describes procedures you perform when customizing any form. These procedures include:

• Defining field names

• Defining field elements

• Adding a visible field

• Hiding a field. When you hide a field, the field (and any fields nested within it) is not displayed on the page, but its value is included in the form processing.

• Disabling a field. When you disable a field, the field (and any fields nested within it) is not displayed in the page, and its value expressions are not evaluated. If the view already contains a value for the disabled field, the value will not be modified.

• Setting a field value

• Calling functions

The following sections discuss in more detail the field characteristics you will set.
