Fieldset

Icon

Pre-Requirement

Before creating a fieldset, first, create the underlying fieldset schema (a group of fields).

Limitation

Not available in batch edit mode of the Batch Editor!

Only Single Fieldset fields are available in the Excel Roundtrip App.

Parent-Child Setup

You can create a schema "Fieldset" following a parent-child setup. When you connect your Fieldset schema to the Fieldset field, the parent-child hierarchy is ignored.

If you connect the Fieldset field to a parent, you will only see fields on the parent. 

If you connect the Fieldset field to a child, you will only see fields on the child, no propagated fields from the parent.

Single Fieldset

One data entry using the underlying source schema, e.g., one copyright information for an image (there shouldn't be more than one).

Multi Fieldset

Multiple data entries, each using the underlying source schema.

Behavior

Examples

• Duration (fields: start, end)

• Address (fields: street, zip, and city)

• Weblink (fields: URL, link text)

• Comments (fields: date, person, comment)

• Usage details (fields: department, description, source)

General Access

To get the display pattern from the fieldset: 
corporateInformation.duration

To get the fieldset schema name: 
corporateInformation.duration.kind

To get a specific value in single fieldsets: 
corporateInformation.duration.start

Use in the business rule

The Business Rules do not check the value pairs in the correct order, and therefore fieldsets shouldn't be used. It may otherwise happen that the business rule connects the value from the first entry (array) with the key from the 2nd entry (array). 

Returned field value

Single:

• Kind (ID of the underlying schema)

• Field Id from the underlying schema

• Value in field 

Multi: Array

• Kind (ID of the underlying schema)

• Field Id from the underlying schema

• Value in field

• provide multiple exciting links to an article
