You can add field hooks to customize the behavior of fields
by providing such features as choice-lists, field validation, default
values, and permissions.
Before you begin
If
you add a permission hook to a field, you must adjust the values for
that field in the Behaviors grid. The permission hook does not work
unless the field behavior is set to USE_HOOK.
Procedure
To add a field hook:
- In the Schema Repository Explorer, expand the Record Types folder in
your schema and then double-click on a record type. The record type editor opens.
- Click the Fields tab to view the
Record Fields grid. The Record Fields grid contains a column
for each type of predefined field hook.
- Click in the hook column for the desired field, click the
down arrow, and then select or . If Instant Editing Mode is enabled, the
appropriate script editor starts. If Instant Editing Mode is disabled,
you must double-click the cell to start the editor.
The editor that
starts depends on the type of hook that you select. For example, if
you click , the Basic Script editor starts. If you choose CONSTANT
LIST, the Choice List window opens.
- Edit the hook. If you are not editing a global
script, note that you can only add text between the # Start
User Code and # End User Code tags. Any
text entered outside of these tags will not be saved. The
calling syntax for the hook is added to the script and cannot be edited.
