# MultiField Configuration

Multifields configuration allows users to select a number from a drop down box on the screen where it is configured in order to determine the number of fields that should display. A transaction should be configured to reference the MultiFields business rule. This multifields rule uses a <ComboDisplay> tag, which allows users to configure the display name for the drop down box that contains the multifield display options.

## Scenario

The user navigates to the Activity screen and adds an activity configured with multifields functionality. When the activity window opens, the first combo box allows the user to select the number of fields to display. The user selects three and three separate fields appear below.

Note: Sets of fields can also use this functionality and display multiple times.
