====== Field properties ====== | |
| |
There are many field properties that can be set for a field and what properties a specific field have depends on it´s field type. To set properties on a field, click on the field you would like to set a property for and choose “Properties” on the panel to the right. | |
| |
**Common** | |
| |
^ Name ^ Description ^ | |
| ''Field label'' | is used to describe what the field is used for especially in a integration manner. To know if a field contains a address or a phone number for example | | |
| ''Invisible'' | indicates wether a field should be invisible in Lime. There are some options to choose between | | |
| ''Length'' | indicates how long a string can be to be saved in a text field. This feature has nothing to do with how big the field is on the form | | |
| ''Required'' | indicates whether a field should be mandatory or not | | |

| ''Default Value'' | default value when new entries are created, this value is directly added into the database | | |
| ''Default Value'' (interpreted by Lime Pro) | default value when new entries are created in LIME. This property makes it possible to set a default value on a relation field such as a logged in user. The value of the property is a VB-expression for exmaple Activeuser. Record.ID | | |
| ''Format SQL-expression'' | kan gå segt med denna funktion. För att optimera prestanda bör man stänga av denna funktion. Rättar till format på exempelvis datumfält om det står fel i databasen, så vill man ha tid exempelvis också så kan LIME fixa detta | | |
| ''Name'' | The database name of the field. This name is used when you develop customizations in VBA for example | | |
| ''NULL is permitted'' | indicated whether the value NULL is allowed for the field | | |
