Documentation

Definition

Defines the characteristics of a field for the user interface.

Use

For each field that you use in an interactive form, depending on the form scenario step you can set the field characteristics. You can determine whether the field is a mandatory field, whether it is shown or hidden, whether you can make entries or if it is for display purposes only.

Dependencies

If you do not define any field characteristics for a form field of a scenario step, or use an existing form scenario for which you cannot define any field attributes for the form fields, the following implicit field characteristics are used:

• If you assign a form field to a form scenario step but have not defined any attributes for this field, the attribute visible, can be edited, not a mandatory field is used for this field.
• If you do not assign a form field to a form scenario step and the form field was not used in previous scenario steps, the attribute not visible, can be edited, not a mandatory field is used for this field. This allows you to automatically hide form fields that are not relevant for a particular scenario step.
• If you do not assign a form field to a form scenario step but this form field has been used in a previous scenario step, the field is automatically assigned to this form scenario step. The attribute visible, cannot make entries is used for this field.

The field characteristics only come into effect when the field attributes are evaluated by scripting in the interactive form.
