Chapter 9 Using Fields 85
In the Fields pane you can:
• create a field by clicking
• drag a field with to a form
• select a field’s checkbox to display the field in table view
• double-click field names to modify names and settings. If a field is locked ,
you can’t modify its name or settings because it is either shared with Address
Book, iCal, or iPhoto, or is reserved by Bento.
• duplicate a field by clicking and choosing Duplicate
• delete a field and its data by clicking . When you delete a field, it is
deleted from the library and from collections and related data fields that use
it.
Note In the Fields pane in table view, there is no checkbox next to related data fields
or the list field types (address, email address, phone number, IM account, URL, file list,
message list, and simple list) because these fields can’t be displayed in table view.
