Table Configuration → Configuring Tables for Applications → Viewing and Configuring Fields → Viewing General Field Properties → Viewing General Information for Sub-Relational Fields
General field properties are set in SBM Composer. The follow table describes those properties for Sub-Relational field types, which allow access to additional fields in a related primary or auxiliary table. Sub-Relational fields are tied to a Single-Relational field already in a table or workflow. For example, if an Incidents workflow contains a Single-Relational field to the Issues table, you can include a Sub-Relational field of Owner. This enables users to view the owner of a related issue within the incident.
Field Property | Description |
---|---|
Relational Field |
Indicates the Single Relational field associated with the Sub-Relational field. |
Sub-field |
Indicates the field from the Relational field table whose value will be displayed on forms. |
Logical Field Name |
Indicates the name of the field as it appears to users. You can change this name in SBM Composer. |
Description |
The text entered here is displayed to users who hover the mouse pointer over the field name and in a help window users can opens from forms. |
Spans Entire Row on Forms |
If selected, this check box indicates that the field will appear on a single row on quick forms. If this check box is cleared, the field appears with another field on a row. |
Appears in Report Field Lists |
When this check box is selected, the field is included on report forms. This enables you to simplify field lists for users who are creating reports. When the Appears in Report Field List check box is selected, the field appears in the Field Specification, Select Columns to Display, Add Columns of Calculations, and Sorting lists on report forms. By default, the Appears in Report Field List check box is selected. In addition, if a field is used on a report and the Appears in Report Field List check box is later cleared, the setting is ignored for that report. |
Appears on Lookup Form and Relational Field Value Lookup |
If this check box is selected, the field is added
to the Auxiliary Data search form in
SBM Application Administrator
and the Advanced Lookup Tool and Relational Field Value Lookup forms.
Tip: The field order for the Advanced Lookup Tool and
Relational Field Value Lookup forms is determined by the default field order of
the table's first project in the project hierarchy. To display fields in a
different order, add another project to this hierarchy, clear the
Allow New Items to Be Submitted check box, and drag the project
to the top of the hierarchy for this table. You can also remove all user
privileges for this project so that the project is only used to determine field
order for search forms.
