| Field             | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |

| Field Name        | A unique name without spaces or special characters.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| Display Name      | The name that appears to users.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| Type              | The type, such as binary, Unicode text, text, integer, DateTime, short, and so on. See [Form Field Types](docId:1RVGuxdd6glW0fmpaNdjt).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| Unique            | Assigns a unique ID to a record. This ID is unique across all instances (records) in the business object table. This is the same as the unique index used in a Microsoft SQL database.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |
| Nullable          | Allows a NULL value to be entered in a field. Values are not enforced in this field, but when they are defined, they must be unique (even though **Unique** is not checked).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
| Stored            | Stores field values in the database. When checkbox is cleared, it permits the field to be evaluated at runtime but not store its values.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
| Hidden            | Does not show this field in the application. You cannot use this when creating a form. This option is typically activated by default and is of particular use in group and member business objects.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| Searched          | Makes this field searchable. For example, number fields often produce unexpected results when performing a text search. You can check this field to make your field search correctly. An example is the **IncidentNumber** field in the **Incident** business object.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| Full-text Indexed | Enables full-text search indexing for the field. The application indexes unique words in the field and uses them for full-text and keyword search within the business object workspace. For optimal performance, it is recommended to enable this option for only a limited number of fields.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
| Audited           | When selected, any changes to this field are audited in the audit stream.<br />Clearing the **Audited** checkbox deletes all existing audit history. To retain this data, back up the audit history before disabling the audit flag.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| Validated         | Uses a validation list. Select a list from the dropdown list. The field must be marked as Unicode to be used as the pick list for a validated text field. Also, the data type between the stored field in the named validation list, and a validated field, must match.<br />For example, if the named validation list is defined against a text field, but the user is attempting to use it for a number field, the validation does not work. You can also translate values from a validated pick list. If a field is validated and the field from where it is fetching data is marked **Is Localizable**, then select the **Values** link in the **Validated** section, and add the translated values for the supported languages. |
