Fields Good to Know
Use these tips for helpful information on Fields.
- Use the Business Object Editor (accessed from within a Blueprint in
CSM Administrator) to define and edit the various aspects of a Field. In the Business
Object Editor, you can:
- Create, edit, or delete Fields for a Business Object.
- Access the Field Properties window, where you can define and edit properties for a Field.
For more information, see Business Object Editor and About Blueprints.
- Fields in major Business Objects can be encrypted to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information (example: identity information, financial data). For more information, see Configuring Field Encryption.
- Business Objects and their associated Fields, Relationships, Forms, Grids, and Form Arrangements are created, edited, and deleted within a Blueprint. To commit changes to your system, you must publish the Blueprint. For more information, see Publish a Blueprint.
- CSM provides many Fields for its OOTB Business Objects. Use these as-is, edit them, or create your own using the Business Object Editor (accessed from within a Blueprint in CSM Administrator). For more information, see Create/Edit a Field.
- Security rights control access to Business Object data and are configured in the Security Group Manager in CSM Administrator (). For more information, see Security rights and Define Business Object Rights.
