# Fields Pane

The Fields pane is used to create fields that will display on the application. Drag and drop fields from the DataDictionary or use the SearchPalette window to add new fields. The DataDictionary can also be used to search for existing fields that may be used. If a new field needs to be created, use the Palette as it contains all the available fields for screen configuration. The Palette is included in the SearchPalette window.

Fields can be deleted through the XML Source pane.

## Steps to Add a New Field to a Transaction

1. Check-out a transaction.

2. Click the Fields pane in the Configuration Area. The SearchPalette window should open on the side of the screen. If it does not, click Window on the Main Menu and select Open Search Palette Window. This window holds all the available field types.

3. Click one of the field types and drag it into the Configuration Area. The new field will appear with a generic field name, such as Field 1.

4. Click on the name of the new field, which will highlight it in blue. This will open the FieldProperties Window so the field can be configured. If the FieldProperties Window does not open, click Window on the Main Menu and select Open FieldProperties Window.

5. Click inside a field property in the FieldProperties Window and type the field information.

6. Check-in the transaction when finished.
