Viewing Field Properties

You can view field properties in several ways:

  • While in the field definition workspace, click the Properties button.

  • Select File > Definition Properties.

  • While in a record definition:

    1. Select the field.

    2. Right-click the field name.

    3. Select View Field Properties from the pop-up menu.

The General tab in the Field Properties dialog box provides a place for you to enter comments documenting the purpose of the field definition. The Owner ID drop-down list box enables you to select a valid owner, as in application project or role. The Last Updated group box contains information—date, time, and user ID—about the last time that the field definition was modified.

The Translate Values tab is available only for character fields.
