Smart Field Data Items

The last component that is required for a smart field is a data dictionary item that is defined as a smart field. Smart field data dictionary items differ from regular data dictionary items in two ways:

• Glossary group.

  Regular data dictionary items are classified as glossary group D; smart field data items are classified as glossary group K. The K classification enables the Smart Field Criteria form.

• Smart Field Criteria form.

  The Smart Field Criteria form defines the business functions and named mappings that are associated with the smart field and the event on which the logic is attached.

  If you create smart fields for use in tabular sections, you might select the Column Inclusion event. If you create smart fields for use in columnar or group sections, you might select the Do Variable event.
