Viewing Field Properties

You can view field properties in several ways:

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

• Select File, and then 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.

Note:

The Runtime Definition field displays whether the field definition was created as a runtime definition by the PeopleCode Language Reference: CreateFieldDefn function PeopleCode built-in function. A runtime field definition is not editable in Application Designer. In addition, it cannot be used in design time definitions (such as records, pages, components, or others) in Application Designer. However, a runtime field definition can be added to a project definition.

The Translate Values tab is available only for character fields.
