Tag: Fieldgroup

In today’s post we will see the usage of Fieldgroup and available options.

Today’s topic is very simple and straight forward.

Field groups are used to determine which columns you have available when you have a table relation to a field.

Another usage of field groups is when we go to a list page in Web Client like the customer list, we have a number of views of the customer list.

We have the normal list view, but there’s also two tiles layouts, the tall tiles and the regular tiles.  When I select one of those layouts, I can see the number of the customer, the name, the contact and two decimal values, which are the balance and the balance due.

To have a tiles layout like this, you have to create a field group with the name brick, and then you have to specify all the fields you want to display. You can only have six fields in a tile and an image.

If the last field in your brick layout is media or media set field, in this case a picture for the customer table, then that will be the media set field which is used in the application.  So the positions of your fields are very important.

It’s very important that your tables which are used in lists in the phone client and the tablet client, that you define a brick layout, because it’s a way that you can manage how, where and what information needs to be displayed.

Hope you find the information useful, and practice accordingly.
