===Display Order with Related Entities===
If you add [[Custom Field|custom fields]] to the basic contact [[Entity|entity]] and then add fields to [[Role|roles]] associated with [[contact]]s, you will need to take care, as the fields will become mixed if they have the same number sequence.
The following table outlines where you need to be careful:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! style="width: 125px; text-align: left;"|Entity
! style="width: 125px; text-align: left;"|Related Entity
|-
| style="width: 125px; text-align: left;"|Contact
||Roles
|-
| style="width: 125px; text-align: left;"|Companies
||Categories
|-
| style="width: 125px; text-align: left;"|UTA {{l1}} Entities
||UTA Level 1 Template Entities
|}
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.
