Alternative Fields

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.
