Chats - Fields Overview

The applications can have two types of fields.

Table Fields

Columns of the table connected to the application and their data types.

Example:

In a table with the following structure:

    CREATE TABLE `orders`  (
      `orderid` int(11) NOT NULL,
      `customerid` varchar(5) NULL DEFAULT NULL,
      `employeeid` int(11) NULL DEFAULT NULL,
      `orderdate` date NULL DEFAULT NULL,
      `requireddate` date NULL DEFAULT NULL,
      PRIMARY KEY (`orderid`) USING BTREE
    );

These are the listed fields on left menu Fields:

Virtual Fields

Fields created inside application to assist in the development process.

How to create a virtual field

1. Inside an application, access the left menu Fields and click on New Field option.
2. Choose how many fields do you want to create:

1. Create the fields and define type, name and label for each one:

• Type: Data type of the field.
• Name: Internal name of the field. Used to identify the field on events and Scriptcase interface.
• Label: Title of the field displayed on the application.

Scriptcase doesn’t insert virtual fields on the table after its creation.
