Including and excluding fields from form views

Use the Add/Remove Fields in View dialog box to specify which fields appear in a form view the Views field property to specify the form views in which a field appears. Include only fields relevant to the users of the form view. Exclude fields used for internal workflow. Fields that are not on a form view are still available for workflow.

Any field not in the current view does not affect the change flag, even if the Disable Change Flag field property is not selected. Associate a SET-CHANGE-FLAG Run Process action with a field not in the view to set the change flag as needed. For more information, see Disable Change Flag in Field-Properties and Using-Run-Process-and-PROCESS-commands.
