Field | Data that can be displayed or entered is referred to as a field. This is the core of where you will view or enter information within Forms. Fields are described by Labels and usually come as a pair. These (and labels) are denoted in this guide as italics. |
Table | When there are multiple data to be shown in a group, those records are usually displayed in a table. Tables allow showing multiple fields in columns, are scrollable vertically and sometimes horizontally, will have buttons for title labels if the columns are sortable and may allow configuration, usually through a Configure button, which will take you to WHS0909. |
