Datafield types

Datafields are located Settings → Common settings → Datafield types. By pressing „F2-ADD NEW“ can create a new datafield.

An empty datafield card opens:

Code - datafield code

Name - datafield name, it also goes to the document as the name of the datafield.

Class - indicates on which document this datafield goes to. If you select “Common”, this datafield can be used for all documents in the list.

Visible by default - can be set whether this datafield is immediately visible on the document or should be added from the drop-down menu.

Warn if not filled - can be set whether a warning is displayed, a warning is not displayed or a warning is displayed and document cant be saved if this field is left blank.

Order - can be set in which order datafields are placed on document. For example, if 1 is marked in this datafield cell, it would always be the first datafield.
Different levels datafields must be sorted from smaller to larger and must be set to visible by default when datafields are related.

Type - sets datafield type. If the Type cell is left blank, any content can be written in the datafield. If Type: Text is selected, different text can also be written to this datafield, but this type creates placeholder from the tabel Settings → Common settings → Auto text. If Type: Item is selected, you can select an item from item browser by double-clicking in the the document datafield cell. Other options work by the same logic.
