Dividers and Sections

You can create a section and divider line when you create or modify a custom field.

Entity form section

If you select the check box for Divider, a divider line displays before the custom field. You can also type Divider text that creates a new section at the bottom of the form.

Note:

If you enter the same Divider text into two custom fields, you will end up with two section created with the same name.

To place a custom field into a section:

  1. Go to Administration > Global Settings > Custom Fields.

  2. Click on the name of the custom field.

  3. Select the Divider checkbox to display a divider line directly above the custom field if required.

    You may want to use divider lines when you are defining a new section that needs to stand out on the form. For example, a series of custom fields defining a topic such as contract management may start with a Contract received check box. The divider line indicates the start of the contract management fields. The divider line does not determine which section the custom field is included in.

  4. Enter Divider text to create a new section.

    Tip:

    To add multiple custom fields to the same section, set the Divider text for the custom field in the first position, but leave the Divider text blank for the following custom fields.

  5. Click Save.

Note:

The display of the divider before custom fields can disabled by Form options.
