Playing with Restrictions

Field restriction settings provide you with the control to determine when a field should be displayed or not. These settings are available using button [4] in each view. This manual teaches you about the different types of restrictions that are available for you to control when your fields should be shown and when they should be hidden.

Action: This setting lets you define the if you want the field to be displayed only when the Content Item is being submitted for the first time (Add), or when the Content Item is opened for editing (Edit), or Always for both.
