FAQ

Does deleting a field affect existing data?

  1. Deleting a field also deletes the existing data in that column.
  2. If the field cannot be restored afterward, you need to create it again and re-enter the content.
  3. Before deleting a field, confirm that it is no longer needed.

What is the difference between hiding a field and deleting a field?

  1. Hiding a field only makes it temporarily invisible in the current view.
  2. After a field is hidden, its data remains and the field can be shown again.
  3. Deleting a field removes both the field and its related data, so the impact is different.

What field-management actions are supported on mobile?

  1. Android supports basic field-management actions.
  2. You can add, edit, reorder, and hide fields in Field Management.
  3. If you need to confirm whether the current table is editable, check your edit permission first.
