Select or type a display pattern to assign a format to floating point field values. For more information on, see the Display Patterns topic in the Getting Started documentation.

true or false

Specifies the display of logical field values. By default, Drop Down displays a logical field as true or false values. Checkbox displays a logical field as a checkbox (a checkbox that is checked indicates a true value and a clear checkbox indicates a false value).

Specifies the custom value that represents how the true value displays in a logical field, for example, yes. The maximum number of characters is 100 and this option is only valid if the Display As field is set to Drop Down and the Display “false” As field is set to a custom value.

Specifies the custom value that represents how the false value displays in a logical field, for example, no. The maximum number of characters is 100 and this option is only valid if the Display As field is set to Drop Down and the Display “true” As field is set to a custom value.

Configure the field as a computed field. For information on configuring the Computation Definition, Store to History Frequency, and How to Run Computations fields, see “Creating a Computed Field”.

Include the time with the date. Time is specified from 00:00:00 to 23:59:59 inclusive in 24 hour format; however, Windchill RV&S displays the time in 12 hour format. For example, specifying 13:56:45 displays the time as 1:56:45 PM.

Specify default, minimum, and maximum values, by selecting one or more of these options and clicking Change

Type a default value

Maximum length for the field. Note the following:

Suggestions are text that appear in the short text field and can be overwritten by the user. Use the buttons on the right side of the field to work with suggestions.

If a user specifies a parameter in this field using the following format {{<parameter  name>}}, then this parameter name is replaced with a parameter value when you view the item through a view or report that supports parameter substitution.

Configure the field as a computed field. For information on configuring the Computation Definition, Store to History Frequency, and How to Run Computations fields, see “Creating a Computed Field”.

Queries against this field will be treated as word searches. This field will be searched by the All Fields text search query. This option is also required to include this short text field for duplicate detection searches.

Type a default value.

Enter a maximum length for the field. Note the following:

Number of rows to display in the Item Details. The maximum is 80 rows.

In the edit mode for a rich content field, the row size is set to 25 rows for the field.

Specify if the field logs user entries. Logging text fields limit the user to making new entries in the field and, therefore, do not permit the user to edit data that was entered previous to the last time the item was saved.

Each time the user saves an item after making an entry in a logging text field, the user ID, entry date, and entry time are logged and then displayed as a stamp above the entry. The stamp uses approximately 30 characters per entry and must be taken into account when setting the maximum field length.

The following are the available options :

Configure field as a rich content field. Rich content enhances the display of text in long text fields by adding formatted text, tables, background colors, images, and hyperlinks. This option is enabled by default and does not support logging text fields.

Because rich content is expressed using a limited set of HTML elements and attributes, you can define screen and printer Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) that ensure a consistent look when viewing and printing rich content field data in different Web browsers.

The field that images are retrieved from in the item when images are inserted into a rich content field using an attachment field. The default is the default Attachment field.

If a user specifies a parameter in this field using the following format {{<parameter  name>}}, then this parameter name is replaced with a parameter value when you view the item through a view or report that supports parameter substitution.

Queries against the field will be treated as word searches. The field will be searched by the All Fields text search query.

Allow multiple users to be selected in the user list. Allowing multiple values for a user field facilitates group development. For example, if you allowed multiple values for the Assigned User field, you could assign multiple users to an item, enabling them to work in parallel on the same item.

Click the list, and select a default user from the selection panel that displays. If the field allows multiple values, you can select multiple default values.

Allow multiple groups to be selected in the group list. Allowing multiple values for a group field facilitates group development. For example, if you allowed multiple values for the Assigned Group field, you could assign multiple groups to an item, enabling them to work in parallel on the same item.

Click the list, and select a group from the selection panel that displays. If the field allows multiple values, you can select multiple default values.

Add a phase to the Phases list.

Edit the phase selected in the Phases list.

Change the order of a selected phase in the list

Remove one or more selected phases from the list, or remove all phases

Assign a text string to the phase

Select the states that are included in the phase, and add them to the Phase States.

Assign an icon image to the phase. Browse for the image file. The image must be in GIF or JPEG format, and no larger than 24 (width) by 16 (height) pixels.

No image associated with the phase

Select a query that determines what items are displayed in the field. Only administrator queries appear in the list.

Correlate a field contained in the item with a field in the items returned by the query. This allows you to return even more specific query results.

For example, if you create a query backed relationship field called Defects for the Feature type, and select Project as the Source Field and Project as the Target Field, the Defects field displays all Defect items that have the same project as the one specified in the Feature type’s Project field.

This option is not mandatory; however, if it is not specified, the list of relationships returned does not change with different items.

Display the items in table format or in a comma separated values (CSV) format. The table format allows you to sort the items and manipulate the columns that display in the table. The CSV format only displays the IDs of the items.

The number of rows to display for the query backed relationship field when editing the item. You can specify from five to 80 rows.

Display wrapped table content for the query backed relationship field when editing the item.

Display the trace information in table format or in a comma separated values (CSV) format. The table format displays all source link field value attributes (for source links and source traces) and allows you to sort the items and manipulate the columns that display in the table. The CSV format displays a subset of source trace attributes.

The number of rows to display for the source link field when editing the item. You can specify from five to 80 rows.

When the Trace option is enabled, specifies that the field be created as a source link field with trace enabled (that can contain a source trace as a value). If the Trace option is not enabled, the field is created as a standard source link field.
