  • Criteria: Selects the internal entity based on entered criteria, e.g. rolelist like "%,12345,%" (This will delimit the list of selectable internal entities to those possessing the role with the roleID of 12345.)
  • Label Display: Determines the location of the field caption. Options include: Left of Field, Above Field, No Caption, Hide Caption. Note: this option was previously called Label Display. (See examples here.)
  • Tool Tip: When the user hovers their mouse pointer over the caption of a field, the text in this section will appear.
  • On New Record: Controls how the field should be displayed until record has been saved once.
    • Always Display: Field will be exposed both before and after the record is saved.
    • Hide on New Record: Field will be hidden until record is saved.
    • Only Show on New Record: Field will be exposed until record is saved, and then it will be hidden. This option is useful for fields that provide instructions for filling out forms before saving.
