What You Can Configure

Use Application Composer to:

• Edit the display label and help text of standard fields;

• Create conditional layouts;

• Assign fields to layouts;

• Create fields of different types (such as text, long text, number, date, choice list, and check box) and add them to standard and administrator-defined objects;

• Define application actions using validation rules, triggers, and functions;

• Set field-level and object-level validation rules;

• Create new objects and child objects;

  Note: You can’t create child objects for change orders.

• Create new subtabs and connect to external applications;

• Hide or show objects and tabs;

• Use web services to create and update objects;

• Delete configured attributes that are created in a sandbox.

  Note: Ensure that the configured attributes you're deleting aren't in use or have never been published.

Attributes, or fields, must be assigned to a layout for the application user to see and work with them. A conditional statement assigned to a layout determines when it's displayed and who can see it.
