| Fields are the individual elements on a form that store data. Fields determine what data a single document can contain. Each field in a document stores a particular kind of data, such as text, numbers, dates or user names. Often users can enter and edit field values, but sometimes data is filled in or changed automatically. |
| The contents of a filed can be displayed in documents and views or can be retrieved for use in formulas. A field can be defined for a single form or can be defined to be shared among multiple forms in a database. |
