* '''Display Order''': The order (relative to other fields) in which this field is displayed

<u>'''Special Options for Field'''</u>
Values control the options displayed in combo box. For example: '''No;Yes'''{{NoEmbeddedDynamicFields}}
==Enhancements==This feature was enhanced (Apr 2016). The purpose of the enhancements were to update the design of dynamic control custom field for more consistent and improved behavior.<br /><br />Enhancements included: * Modified the dynamic control field so it renders as individual fields as opposed to divs of field sets* When a parent option changes, ajax is used to control the visibility of the sub fields* When sub fields are hidden, they are also disabled to support Smartcheck and also prevent data from posting {{FieldOptions}} * '''Values''' control the options displayed in combo box. For example: '''No;Yes''' {{ToolTip}}{{HideFieldForNewRecord}}{{SmartFieldView}} {{OptionsTab}}{{Mandatory}}{{AppearMandatory}}{{Searchable}}{{TrackChanges}}{{ShowAsRadioButtons}}{{ShowDisplayValueInListViews}}{{EnableKML}}{{DisableFromGlobalSearch}} {{Validation}} {{Formatting}}{{CFWidth}}{{CustomHTMLTag}} ==Special Field Options==* '''Values''' control the options displayed in combo box. For example: '''No;Yes''' Values are separated by semi-colons with no spaces. If the '''Allow Empty''' option is set to unchecked, then the first value will need to be a prompt for the [[User|user]] as the value will not be accepted as a valid selection. For example: '''Select from List;Yes;No'''
In this example, one set of [[Custom Field|custom fields]] can be displayed if '''Yes''' is selected, and an alternative set of fields displayed if '''No''' is selected.
'''Addition Custom fields''' – additional custom fields are added to the field.
[[Image:Cf23Cf_dcf_ex3.png|link=|900px]] The '''Tab''' name is used to control the sub-fields to be displayed. In this example, setting the tab name to '''Yes''' displays the fields when '''Yes''' is selected in the '''Dynamic Control''' field. <u>'''Services'''</u>
* The '''Enable Map ServiceTab''': displays name is used to control the map icon next sub-fields to be displayed. In this example, setting the field tab name that will launch the user’s selected map service and display a map of the content of the field* to '''Enable People Search ServiceYes''': displays the search Internet icon next to fields when '''Yes''' is selected in the field name that will launch a variety of search services and display the contact details from those services* '''Enable Organization Search ServiceDynamic Control''': displays the search Internet icon next to the field name that will launch a variety of search services and display the organisations details from those services.
<u>'''Value Stores To'''</u>
* '''Custom Field''': Enables linking two different custom fields to the same user data
'''**Note''': When used in conjunction with Store To ==Value, the value cannot be stored to a field outside of the Dynamic Control Field's field set.Storage== <u>'''Field Formatting Options'''</u> {{ValueStoresTo}}
* '''Width''': Determines the width of the field* '''Height''': Determines the height of the field* '''Number Format''': Formats any numbers entered into this field* '''Thumbnail Width''': Determines the width of the image's thumbnail, in pixels* '''Thumbnail Height''': Determines the height of the image's thumbnail, in pixels* '''Style''': '''Bold''', <u>Underline</u>, ''Italic'', <font color="red">Highlight</font> * '''[[Tool Tip]]''': Enter help text to be shown on mouse-over* '''Read Only''': Checkbox* '''HTML Tag''': Additional attributes to the field HTML tag. <font color="red">'''NOTE:''' you cannot include '''onchange''' tags in Dynamic Control Fields.</font>* '''[[Visibility Condition]]''': Conditions upon which the field is visible{{CFPermissionsTab}}
<u>'''==Move to Parent Level==If a client wishes to convert Dynamic Control sub fields to [[Role Dynamic Field PermissionsVisibility Control|Role - Field PermissionsBranching fields]]then there is now a button on both custom field list view and edit custom field page to '''Move to Parent level'''</u> . It will automatically copy the [[Display order]] from the original parent field to the sub-fields when moving the sub fields. This means the sub-fields should continue to be displayed close to the original parent field when shown on screen.
These [[Role Field Permissions|fields]] allow you to control by [[Role]] who is allowed to view and/or modify the field.
<u>'''[[Status Field Permissions|Status - Field Permissions]]'''</u>
* ''Only present within the [[Universal Tracking Application]]''
These [[Status Field Permissions|fields]] allow you to control by the [[Status]] of the record whether or not the field can be viewed and/or modified.

{{NoEmbeddedDynamicFields}}
<font size="3">'''You must not use embedded dynamic control fields (a dynamic control fields within a dynamic control field).'''</font>
When using a dynamic control field beneath a '''Title bar''' field the number of columns of the title bar must be set to 1.
You can determine the fields to be displayed based on more than When using a single value. For example, if the dynamic control field options are: beneath a '''Select From List;Less than 100;Between 100 and 200;Greater than 300Title bar'''. You could set field the value for a given field to display in more than one selection. Setting number of columns of the value title bar must be set to '''Less than 100;Greater than 300''' would display the field when either of these options was selected1.
You can determine the fields to be displayed based on more than a single value. For example, if the field options are: '''Select From List;Less than 100;Between 100 and 200;Greater than 300'''. You could set the value for a given field to display in more than one selection. Setting the value to '''Less than 100;Greater than 300''' would display the field when either of these options was selected.
'''<u>Allow Empty</u>'''
:Because the values in a Combo Box [[Custom Field]] are restricted to the semi-colon delimited list in the '''Values''' field, the '''Allow Empty''' field has a slightly different behaviour than usual. It controls whether or not the record can be saved with the default value (which is the first value listed in the '''Values''' section):
:* If '''Allow Empty''' is checked, the record '''can''' be saved with the default value.
:* If '''Allow Empty''' is '''not''' checked, the record '''cannot''' be saved with the default value. In this way you can force the user to select a value different from the default value.
:* '''Important:''' Because the record cannot be saved with the default value, the first item listed in the '''Value''' section should be either a space followed by a semi-colon (if you want the field to start out blank) or an instruction to the user such as ''-----Select One-----; Please choose;'' or similar. You do not want an actual value as the first item, since the record can never be saved with the first value if '''Allow Empty''' is deselected.
