Email Field

With the Email Field type, users can enter an email address that is server-side validated to ensure it is in a valid email format. The following properties can be defined while creating an Email field:

• Field Properties

  • Field Label — (mandatory) is displayed on the left from the field on view, edit, and new record pages.

  • View Header — (optional) is used in headers of views and reports. If not specified, the Field Label is used.

  • View Width — (optional) is used to set width (in pixels or %) of columns in views and reports. If not specified, the browser calculates the width of columns automatically.

  • Default Size — The default size of the input field shown in forms (you can override this default as a page-level property using the page editor).

  • Length — The maximum allowed length (number of characters)

    Note: The maximum allowed length cannot exceed 100 characters. However this limitation does not apply to external databases. See Using external tables as Platform objects for more information.
   

• Advanced Field Properties — For more information, see Advanced field properties.

• Integration Name — The integration name is used to reference this field via merge fields or with Platform APIs.

• Field-Level Help — The Field-Level Help box allows you to define help text for the field that will appear in a popup when the user clicks the help icon next to the field.
