All rights reserved. Set up page fields | 4 Set up page fields PRODUCTS: ALL CREATIO PRODUCTS Add, modify, hide or delete fields on a record page in the Page Designer. You can also manage the section data structure (i.e., the list of section columns): adding a new column in the Page Designer will also add this column to the section data structure when saving the changes. When selecting a column in the page designer’s toolbar, review the list in the [ Existing column ] block first. The designer may already have the needed column ready for placement. If there is no such column, use the elements from the [ New column ] block. Add fields based on the existing columns The [ Existing columns ] block of the [ Page elements ] menu displays columns that are already available in the section. These columns may not be displayed on the record page, but they are used in the Creatio database and cannot be deleted. Some of the columns may be required on an object level: you cannot create a record in the database if you do not fill out the required record columns. The required columns are marked with an asterisk (*) (Fig. 1). Attention. All required columns must be added as fields to the record page to ensure that the record page opens correctly. Fig. 1 A required field in the Page Designer © 2021 Creatio. All rights reserved. Set up page fields | 5 To add existing columns to the page: 1. Open the relevant section, e. g., [ Requests ]. 2. Click [ View ] -> [ Open Section Wizard ]. 3. In the [ Section pages ] block of the Section Wizard: a. click [ Edit page ] if there is a single page in the section b. click the link to the relevant page if there are several pages in the section 4. Drag existing columns from the [ Existing columns ] area to the record page. The areas where you can drop the field are highlighted. The columns that are already added to the page do not disappear from the column selection field, but they become unavailable in the list of existing columns (Fig. 2). Fig. 2 Adding existing columns to a record page © 2021 Creatio. All rights reserved. Set up page fields | 6 Attention. If you add a new column to a page in the Page Designer and accidentally drop it on top of the other columns, the new column will not appear in the Page Designer's working area. Creatio will add it to the list of the existing columns instead (Fig. 3). To display it on the page, drag it from the [ Existing columns ] area to the Page Designer's working area and do not create a new column with the same name.

Dragging and dropping a new column to the section page will add a new field of the corresponding type and a new corresponding column to the database. Fig. 7 Adding new columns to a record page Attention. Adding a new field to a page and saving the changes in the Section Wizard will also add the corresponding column to the section object. Specify the parameters of the new column and the page field used to populate it. The set of available parameters may differ depending on the field type. © 2021 Creatio. All rights reserved. Set up page fields | 12 Fig. 8 [ Subcategory ] field parameters on a request page Set up “String” columns When working with string columns, you can use single-line text fields or multiline text fields. The [ Multiline text ] parameter is unique to “String” fields. Multiline text fields have variable height and are designed for larger volumes of text that might take several paragraphs, such as the [ Description ] field. If you select the [ Multiline text ] checkbox, you will be able to modify the field height in the Page Designer by dragging (Fig. 9). Leave the [ Multiline text ] checkbox clear to add a single-line text field. Fig. 9 Changing the size of a multiline column © 2021 Creatio. All rights reserved.

You can also select “Integer” to change the field type to “Integer”. Select “Currency” if you intend to use the field with financial data.
