The Field specification dialog

To access this dialog:

This dialog displays the settings for an existing field specification. (Field specifications are part of field exceptions.) You can also create a new field specification.

Name

The name of the field specification.

Field type

The field type associated with the field specification.

Field name in document profile

Usually this differs from the name of the field type. It always differs in document profiles for countries where English is not the native language. For example, InvoiceTotalVatIncludedAmount is called GrossValue in a UK document profile and GesamtBetrag in a Germa document profile.

The field name that is displayed here is the first one Entrance finds in your document profiles. It is for information only. You cannot change it.

Format specification

The format specification for the field specification.

Prefix

The prefix for the field specification.

Activation

Inactive deactivates the field (not the field specification). When the field specification is used in a field rule, the field is not interpreted and is not displayed in Verify.
