Input Field

An input field is a specified area of the application where a user must enter or choose information that will be sent to request a partner service.

Input fields used in the application are specific to the service, therefore depending on the service used, the fields displayed in the application will differ from one service to another.

The properties of an input field are:

• Code: The internal name of the input field. The code is a read-only property.

• Name: The label of the field used in the requisition file. Depending on the service definition, the name can be an editable property.

• Domain: The type of field. The domain is a read only property. The possible values are:

  • Text

  • Multilingual text

  • Numerical

  • Selection

  • Date

  • Date UTC sensitive

  • Boolean

• Mandatory: If the service definition specifies the field as mandatory, then the input field will always be mandatory. If the service definition specifies the input field as optional, then the customer will be able to configure the field as being either mandatory or not.

• Default Value: this is the value of the field used by default by the system. Depending on the service definition, this can be an editable property.

Input fields are displayed in the requisition file under the Screening section.
