If a field has alternative formats, an alternative field representation may be selected. When a field has alternatives, it is visualised in the form by an arrow following the field label as shown below:
The field representation for a field with alternatives may be chosen using the drop-down list in the form or by using the Alternatives submenu in the context pop-up menu. The latter is the only way to change alternatives in tables.
The Field Template Settings can be used to ease the selection of an alternative. The following can be specified:
Default Alternative |
When the field is created the default alternative is selected. |
Hidden Alternatives |
The hidden alternatives are not available when selecting an alternative, which makes the alternative list easier to overview. |
