Fields

The Fields tab shows all fields on the selected Object, and lets you search, filter, create, clone, edit access, and delete fields, along with a Field Details panel with everything you might need to know about the selected field (s).

Layout​

The tab is split into two panes:

  • Left — the Fields grid, one row per field, with columns like Name, Label, Type, Required, Access, etc.
  • Right — the Field Details panel for the selected field (s), with tabs that appear based on what's selected: Details, Picklist Values, Formula, Rollup Formula, Lookup Filter, Sample Values, Field Access, and Dependency Analysis. Select one or more fields in the grid to populate this panel.

Search & Filters​

Use the search box to search by Field Name or Label. In addition, three filter dropdowns in the toolbar let you narrow down the grid further. All three can be combined at the same time.

FilterBehavior
TypeAllows to filter fields by various data types
ShowAllows to filter fields by various special cases like Required Fields, History Tracked Fields etc.,
HideAllows to hide fields for quick negation. For ex., hide System/Formula fields

For example, selecting Picklist in -Type- and Dependent Picklists in -Show- narrows the grid to only Picklist fields that are dependent (child) picklists.
