Field Events​

Field events let you run logic when a user interacts with a field. They are available across multiple parts of the application, including forms, data views, reports, processes, and mail merges.

Form Fields and Screen Fields​

Field events apply to:

  • Form fields on forms
  • Screen fields on data views, reports, processes, and mail merges

Data Fields in Data Views​

Data Views also include data fields, which display the actual data in the view. These fields are more limited in how they can be interacted with as they only support the On Click Event.
