Field Types
There are three different types of field types on IFS
Cloud Web.
1. Data Field
Fields for entering specific value.
There are different types of Data Fields :
Default Data Field
Non-Mandatory Field / Drop Down Menu
2. Mandatory Field
Fields that are marked with an asterisk (*) and a
field highlighter helps you to easily identify the mandatory fields. It also
remains clearly identifiable even after a value is entered, ensuring users
do not accidentally overlook required information. The design also supports
users with color blindness by providing clear visual indicators beyond
background color, making mandatory fields easily recognizable.
The asterisk
(*) is not used to mark mandatory columns in lists/tables because the same
column may have different values depending on dynamic changes at the row
level. However, if a specific cell requires a mandatory input, the cell will
be highlighted, and a warning will appear if you try to save without filling
it in.
Accessibility Considerations: For
users who require accessibility requirements, the asterisk helps
differentiate mandatory fields from optional ones if they are unable to
identify subtle field highlights. Additionally, mandatory field indicators
also have the capability for screen readers to identify them and enhance the
experience for users who rely on assistive technology.
Different types of Mandatory fields include:
Default Mandatory Field
Mandatory Field/ Drop Down Menu
C. Read only field
Depending on your authorization level,
specific record fields may either be enabled or disabled. Disabled fields
will be visually indicated by a gray coloration.
