  1. Name - this is a name of a field

  2. Document - document where parent field is placed

  3. Duplicate of - field which will be duplicated

  4. Search - this attribute specifies if this field should be eligible for mailbox page search

Note

If duplicate is placed inside of a dynamic table, only fields from the same table (or outside of all tables) will be available for duplication.

This field also includes additional attributes, which you can access by clicking the “Show advanced settings” button.

  1. Tooltip - enables adding a custom tooltip that will be displayed for active fields in the envelope. If left blank, the default tooltip is shown

When all attributes are set, you can click the “Save” button and the field will be added. You can click the field to view or update its properties, and also delete it in the same menu.

Please note that the “Show advanced settings” option is available only while no additional attributes have been added to the field. Once at least one additional attribute is added — either during creation or later in edit mode — this option will no longer appear, and all available attributes will be displayed for editing instead.

Hint

If this field contains a link in the envelope, it will be rendered a standard link in the browser (blue font with an underline). You can follow this link from the right-click context menu.
