Details

Details store and display data about an Item or a Relationship.  In WorkXpress, there are many types of Fields to display many different types of data.

Fields are for saving or retrieving data elements in WorkXpress. A WorkXpress Field combines form elements, input masks, data types, storage methods, storage parts, search comparisons (aka parameters, operators), and display options into a single Building Block. Fields are relied upon by all other Building Block types when those Blocks are trying to interact with WorkXpress data.

• A Field must always be associated with either an Item Type or a Relationship Type. The Fields themselves are the stored data, that is, the parameters/attributes about the associated Item Type or Relationship Type.
• Most Field settings are global and apply everywhere the Field is found, but some are local. 
• "Fields" refers to one of the five fundamental Building Blocks.
• "Field Type" refers to a specific style of Field, for example "Number", "Short Text", or "Address".
• "Field" refers to a specifc Field Type that was placed in a Layout and is now a part of the application. For example, a builder will put a "Field Type - Address" into a Layout and name this new Field "Billing Address".
• "Data", also "Value", refers to the specific information stored within a Field about a particular item. For example, "222 Maple Lane" is the data stored in the "Billing Address" field associated with the item "Acme Company" (an Account).
