Object and Field Properties

In midm.xml, you specify which objects appear on the MIDM windows and the order in which they appear. You can also specify the fields displayed in each object and configure properties for each field. This file controls the configuration of a field’s name, length, order of appearance on the MIDM, required data type, whether text can be entered into a field or if it must be selected from a predefined value, whether a field or combination of fields must be unique to a parent or child object, and whether the value of the field is hidden under certain circumstances. You can also specify whether the format of a field is dependent on the value of a related field (for example, the format of a credit card number field could be dependent on the type of credit card specified).
