Overview of Transactional Business Intelligence Configuration of Descriptive Flexfields

Configure descriptive flexfields to track unique information not typically found on business forms.

Descriptive flexfields can store several important details on a form without cluttering it. For example, several details may make an asset form heavy and unmanageable. However, the user still needs to access those details and therefore, they must be present on the form. In such cases, descriptive flexfields are convenient to use and are easy to manage.

Descriptive flexfields provide a way for you to add attributes to entities and to define validation and display properties for them. A descriptive flexfield is a logical grouping of attributes (segments) that are mapped to a set of extension columns which are shipped as part of Oracle Applications Cloud tables.
