Create New Competitor Fields

If you want to put more fields on Competitors competitor pages, then you first create them. Here's an example of how to do that:

  1. Navigate to Configuration > Application Composer.

  2. In the Objects tree, under Standard Objects, expand the object tree for the object you're modifying. For example, expand the Sales Competitor tree.

  3. Click the Fields node for the object.

  4. Click the Custom tab.

  5. Click the Create icon, or select Create from the Actions menu.

  6. Select the type of field you're creating. For example, select Text as the type for a text entry field.

  7. Click OK.

  8. In the Appearance area, enter a Display Label for the new field. Set other optional attributes as desired.

  9. In the Name area, enter an internal name for the field. The application prepopulates one based on your entry in the Display Label field, but you can override the default value. Ensure there's no space in an internal name.

  10. Optionally, in the Constraints area, enter additional parameters for the field. For example, make the field a required field.

  11. Optionally, in the Default Value region, enter a default value for the field.

  12. Click Save and Close.

Duplicate Display Names for Fields

When you configure Competitors pages, in the Available Fields list, some field display names appear to be duplicates. For example, you may see two fields for Primary Competitor. The names you see in the list are display names only; each has an underlying name, which is its actual name. To see the underlying name of the field, hover your mouse pointer over the field name. The hover text displays the actual name of the field.
