Some or all of the following Fields are contained on the Domain-Type Field Additional Attributes overlays for alpha, format, logic, text, token and date Domains:

·    Default Value establishes a modifiable starting value for all referenced fields whenever they are first displayed in add mode in an input image, unless modified by a user. If blank, there is no starting value displayed on the image.

·    Range Checks defines a series of allowable values that APPX uses for online data validation. The first component represents the relation. The options are EQ (equal to), NE (not equal to), GT (greater than), LT (less than), GE (greater than or equal to), and LE (less than or equal to). The second component represents the value that is assigned to the relation. If you enter two relations, APPX infers an AND relationship.

·    Occurrence determines the number of times a field is present in a record. If blank, APPX assumes a value of 1. This field may contain up to five numeric characters and is restricted to a maximum of 32,767. See the Occurrence section for a more comprehensive discussion of this field.

·    Use Domain Doc? Toggle the checkbox between “yes” iconcheckyes.png if you want APPX to use the documentation from the domain as Help text and “no” iconcheckno.png if you plan to enter Help text unique to this field.
