Role - Field Permissions

These fields allow you to control by Role who is allowed to view and/or modify the field.

Status - Field Permissions

These fields allow you to control by the Status of the record whether or not the field can be viewed and/or modified.


Notes

The following syntax is used to display an aggregate function:

  • Count(*) – counts the rows in the grid.
  • Sum(fieldname) – sums a numeric field.
  • Avg(fieldname) – averages a numeric field.

Only one aggregate function can be used. The aggregate function result will be displayed when the field is collapsed. This value can be reported on, but you cannot currently create a report based on the individual records.

The SmartSimple reporting engine cannot report on this field type, but the values can be displayed in a web page view field.
