  • Searchable: This field can be searched within the tracking application.
  • Hide Field: Field will be hidden.
  • 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.)
  • 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.
  • SmartField View - Include or exclude this field from SmartField Views (@SmartFields@) or only display this field for SmartField Views. See SmartField View for further details.
  • Visibility Condition: See the Visibility Condition Wiki page.
  • Value Storage: Enables linking two different custom fields to the same user data. See Value Stores To page.

Notes

The value of the Created By field is set to the name of the user when the field is first visible on the page. Therefore, system administrators can create a "name stamp" by making the field visible only at a certain status or by using Visibility Conditions.

If the Created By field is added after the record has been created it will be set to the current user the first time the record is saved.
