Field objects in the system correspond to the records in the system database. Field object security—implemented by assigning specific fields on a screen to a user or a permission group—enables users to view and/or edit the values in certain fields, while other fields are protected.

Use the Field Object Manager to maintain the database table fields that display on the system dialog boxes and screens. You can customize various attributes, as well as define permissions for individual fields.

For details on using the Field Object Manager, see Field Object Manager.
