9. Adding Fields to Applications

Add new fields to an application. To recap on the steps in the video:

Adding Fields to Applications

1. Open the stream configuration form for Contacts.

2. Add the following attributes to the Stream:

   Name	Type
   BusinessUID	Integer
   BusinessName	String

3. On the ContactManager Dashboard, drag the new stream attributes onto the header of the Grid View.
   1. Hide the BusinessUID.
4. Drag the new stream attributes onto the edit form.
   1. Hide the BusinessUID.
5. Re-arrange the fields on the edit form into a logical order. Remember that you can select several fields by clicking the first field then Shift+clicking the last field that you want.
6. Update the tab order of fields on the edit form.
   1. Click field Name and make sure you select the inner field rather than the surrounding area. Set:
      • Tab Index: 1
      • the order of all the fields so you are able to tab through all attributes sequentially.
   2. Go into App Mode.
   3. Click on the first field in the edit form, then try tabbing through the form. Each tab-press should move to the next field in the order you set in your configuration.
      If this doesn't work, go back into Design Mode and make sure that you have set the order on the field objects (the grey boxes) rather than the outer areas of the fields.
7. Enter some new contacts.
