Fields

On the presentation level, a teamboard contains specifications how the work items, tasks and their properties should be shown to the user. The basic component on this specification is a field.

A field defines how to show or enter a property value. Every property has its own field. A field is specified by its caption and type. The type of the field is the same as the type of the corresponding property and determines what control will be used to show or enter the property value. Currently, we have the following types of fields/properties:

Type	Comments
Text
Long text	The actual number of lines is pre-configured in the template but it can be later configured by a user. You can enter rich text here.
Number
Enumeration	The set of possible values is pre-configured in the template but it can be later configured by a user.
Date
Date/Time	Consist of both the date picker and the time selector.
Yes/No
Tags	You can enter a sequence of texts here. Each element can be either directly typed or selected from a list of already entered texts in all other work items/ tasks
Files	List of attachments where you can add a new one from the Open file dialog.
Process	Shows a list of all published processes that the user is authorized to view.
Process step	Shows a list of steps of the process assigned to the teamboard.
User	A list of all authorized users.

Fields are shown on the work item’s and task’s edit dialogs as well as on cards and tables in work views. Fields corresponding to the system properties are always read only.
