Fields tab

The list of fields displays the following parameters of the field:

Option Description

Required If this parameter has the value Yes, then it is mandatory to set a value for the corresponding field when modifying document field data.

  • Integer — This type of field accepts integers equal to or less than 64,999.
  • Date — This type of field accepts a date value. Date values will be formatted according to the short date format defined in the Regional and Language Options dialog box, which can be found in the Windows Control Panel.
