About managing the display order for fields and field values

You can reorder standard and custom fields in addition to reordering lists of field values.

Tip:

Select one or more fields in the Category or View list:

• Click
  
  
  
  to move the defined value up in the list.
• Click
  
  
  
  to move the defined value down in the list.

Standard fields appear in the following order:

1. Topic fields
2. Action fields
3. Attachment fields

The custom fields appear after the standard fields in the order you added them. You can modify the default sequence:

• For a topic—On the Add Topic page or Topic General Information section of the Topic page.
• For an action—On the Add Topic Action page or Action General Information section of the Topic Action page.
• For a document-style attachment—On the Add Attachment page.
• For a work team—On the Edit Work Team page.

Note:

A field can only have one display order, even if it appears in more than one context. You can prevent a field from appearing when the topic or action is in a given state by assigning a field access level of hidden to the field for that state. This also applies to attachments of different types.
