How Flexfield Segments are Rendered on Pages
Flexfield segments appear on pages as attributes of business objects. When you create or edit flexfield segments, the value you enter for the display type determines how the segment appears on a page.
How Display Type Values Appear
The series of figures (A to L) represent how the display types render on the UI. Each display type screenshot is assigned an alphabetic character that maps to the display type and its description in the table.
