• Email: Fields with this extended type provide the functionality to automatically create a new email message. An email icon appears to the right of a field that uses this extended type.

• Phone: This type specifies that the field contains a phone number.
• Area Code: This type specifies that the field contains an area code.

• State: This type specifies that the field contains a State. This field may be automatically populated when a user enters a ZIP Code in a ZIP Code field in the same entity.
• ZipCode: This type specifies that the field contains a ZIP Code. When a user enters a ZIP Code in a field of this type, the system automatically populates other address fields in the same entity.
• Country: This type specifies that the field contains a country. This field may be automatically populated when a user enters a ZIP Code in a ZIP Code field in the same entity.
• County: This type specifies that the field contains a county. This field may be automatically populated when a user enters a ZIP Code in a ZIP Code field in the same entity.

• Password:Fields defined with the extended type of Password displays a series of asterisks on a form rather than plain text. This is designed to mask the password to prevent authorized access. Note that following when working with a password field:
  • The Password extended type functionality is only applicable for a Text Field. If your field's size is greater than 255 characters, the Aptify Baseline Form Template Generator will create a multi-line text field that displays the field's contents in plain text. In this case, use the Visual Designer to remove the multi-line text field and replace it with a text field that uses the Password extended type. See Modifying Field Layout with the Visual Designer in the Admin Guide for information on the Visual Designer.
  • Even though a Password field's value is masked on the form, the value will still show up as plain text within a view. Therefore, to adequately protect passwords, Aptify recommends that you encrypt any Password fields that you add to the system in addition to setting the Extended Type to Password. See Field Level Encryption for information on encrypting a field.

Par. Linked Value

When creating a sub-type entity, the system uses this attribute to link to the parent entity's ID field on the ParentID field of the sub-type. It can also be used for second-level sub-types to link back to the top-level entity. See the PersonID field in the PersonCompanyFunctions sub-type entity for an example. See Creating Multiple Filegroups for  for more information on sub-type entities. Finally, it is also used in some instances for top-level entities; see the OrderMeetingDetail top-level entity for an example.

Selecting this attribute enables data encryption for this field. When enabled, the Security Key field becomes available. See Field Level Encryption in the Admin Guide for details.

Security Key sets the key used to encrypt the field. This option is only available when the Encrypt Data option is selected. This field links to the corresponding Security Key record.

Selecting this attribute enables In Place Editing at the field level. This is only applicable if In Place Editing is enabled at the entity level (on the Entity's Security > Options tab). Once enabled at the field level, youcan specify Edit In Place permissions for users and/or groups in the field's User and Group Permissions records (under the User Permissions and Group Permissions sub-tabs).

For Standard + Script and Script Only, the Script sub-tab stores a validation script that either supplements (for Standard + Script) or replaces the GE validation (for Script Only) for the field. Field validation scripts should be in VBScript format. See Scripts Service for Adding Scripting to a New Entity for information on writing scripts in Aptify.

• Static List: When this option is selected, an administrator manually enters one or more values in the Values sub-type list (by creating a Values record for each value; see About the Values Form). Also, see Standard Combo Drop-down List.
• SQL Statement: When this option is selected, an administrator enters a SQL Statement in the Values field of a Values record (see Values Form) to define the list of records and the associated fields that appear in the selection list (both in a data combo drop-down field on a form and in a multiple selection dialog, depending on the configuration of the GUI Type Single Select and GUI Type Multi Select options). When selecting this option, you may also need to specify the Linked Entity and Linked Field in the Fields record's Top Area. See Data Combo Drop-down List.
• Entity List: An entity list is a register of values that originates from a list populated with values from another entity. If this option is selected, all of the information within the Entity Link display information section of the associated Values records must be populated (see About the Values Form).

...

• None: Selected by default. This value is the default used for fields that are not virtual fields. Virtual fields should never be set to this type.
• Manual: User must manually modify the Base View for the entity as necessary to - accommodate this field.
• Joined: The virtual field displays a value from a field defined in a joined table. See Joined Virtual Field for information on how to create a Joined Virtual Field.
• Calculated: Indicates that the virtual field is calculated from other values, including values from fields in other entities. The information is not stored in the database table but the relevant information is added to the entity's Base View.
• Computed: Indicates that the virtual field is calculated from other values within the same table. Unlike a Calculated field, which is calculated within an entity's Base View, a Computed field is calculated at entity's primary database table. Note that a Computed field is not a physical field in the table even the Computed field appears in the table details when viewed using SQL Server Management Studio. You cannot create a constraint or an index for a computed field. (Aptify does not create Persisted computed columns.) Also, if you are adding a Computed field to an entity that has multiple base tables, the computed field and all of the fields that are referenced in its calculation must be in the entity's primary base table.
