You should start the number sequence for these types of related fields at some higher level. For example, role 1 starts at 5000, role 2 starts at 8000.

<u>'''Field Name and Field ID'''</u>
* The Field ID is automatically generated by the system as a number value and is displayed to the right.

<u>'''Referencing Fields Names and Field ID in other Custom Fields Types'''</u>
* The '''Tilde''' ~ is used to display the field name above the field.

* A '''Hyphen''' “-“ is used exclusively with the '''Title Bar – Multiple Columns''' field to suppress the title bar but display a multiple column layout.
Access to a [[Custom Field|custom field]] is controlled by permissions.

* '''Allow View Field''' –If you associate this setting with [[Role|roles]], then the field will only be displayed to people with these [[Role|roles]]. If you leave this field blank, then everyone will be able to see the field.
You can also search and replace these values in bulk by using the '''Field Data''' tab and specifying the old and new value required.

* '''Object Type''' fields are stored on the server in a resource folder on the server.
You can use the custom field '''Import''' and '''Export''' features to move or copy custom fields from one [[Entity|entity]] to another (or even another instance of [[SmartSimple|SmartSimple]]).
