What options are available in the Properties panel for configuring a field?
I’m assuming you are talking about the App Builder experience - where you are building an application and have selected a field on one of the application forms (List, Detail, etc).
Let me know if I got it wrong!
In the Field Properties panel, you have several configurations for the selected field:
- The Label. This is how the field is shown to the user. For example a label of “Name” will tell the app to render the text “Name” above the field in the application. Labels are translatable.
- Row/Column. These two define how the field is placed on the application. Usually only changed automatically when moving the field around, but may be changed manually.
- Layout - How the field should appear on the app. “Hide on app” includes the field in the app’s data model, so it may be referenced from other apps, but excludes it from the visual view of the form.
- Reset Field on Copy. Dictates whether the field will be cleared when a user makes a copy of a record in this application.
- Disabled - Whether the field should be disabled. Disabled fields still render their values in the field, but cannot be interacted with by the user. This does not include Logic Blocks.
- Application Required - Whether the field is required to be filled in to save a record in this app. Different from Table Required, which is defined on the table level.
- Camera Scannable - Whether this field gets the scannable option applied. When applied, the option can be taken to use a device camera to scan a value into the field.
