Field Property

Input Details

Name

Component Name

Description

Description of the Component.

Internal ID

The identifier number generated by the system for the component. Internally the system uses this number to identify this component and not the Name.

Default Component Lookup View

If it is necessary to select records from this Component to link them to records of other Components (for example select Persons as "Action assigned by"), you will need to define which Component Lookup shall be used for this.

Before you can select the Default Component Lookup, you will need to define a View for this Component.

 

NOTE:

The Default Component Lookup View must not contain fields from a related component, since these will be displayed as "####" only.

For example on the Person Component:
- OK: Supervisor
- Not OK: Supervisor.First Name

Allow Add New from Component Lookup
