System Fields

System fields help define information about your records. These fields are already named, but you can change a field’s status from optional to required, ensuring the field must contain an entry before the record is saved. You can also hide fields you do not use to prevent data entry.

From the System fields tab on the Fields and tables page, you can edit system fields by selecting Edit from the menu next to each field in the list.

To help locate a system field, you can use the search and filters above the list. For information about these filters, see System Field Filters.

  1. From Settings, Fields and tables, under System fields, select Edit from the menu next to the field you want to edit.

  2. When you edit system fields, you can make them required to make sure the field includes data before the record is saved. You can also select to hide fields you don't use to prevent data entry.

  3. Select Save.
