The standard field type provides the full functionality of the field library. For ease of use, and to provide more specialised features, a number of user-friendly field types have been defined.
Text Field | A field that holds a single line of text. |
Text Block Field | A field that holds a block of text, with an option to present the text within a rich text editor, |
Number Field | A field that holds a number, with options to set the display format. |
Boolean Field | A field that holds a boolean. |
Date Field | A field that holds a date. Internally, all fields are stored in yyyy-mm-dd format. You can choose the date format in the date options page. |
Link Field | A field that holds a link to another item. |
Link List Field | A field that holds a list of links to other items. |
Name Field | A field that holds a single line of text that is used as the name of the item. When used in a table, a hyperlink to the item is shown. |
Display Field | A field that displays a block of text that the user can not update. No field help is shown for display fields, and they are not shown on tables. |
Text Drop-Down Field | A field that allows the user to select text from a drop-down. |
Text Radio Field | A field that allows the user to select text using a set of radio buttons. |
Text Checkboxes Field | A field that allows the user to select multiple items of text using a set of checkboxes. |
These user-friendly types have simple storage models. If you want a field that combines text, number and link, you will have to use the standard Field type.
These types are available from the OmniLink on the member type list.
