Field-Level Inclusion and Exclusion

For each view, you may select which fields from the base layout should be included when each record is formatted.

By default, when you create a new view, all fields are included. Use the Unselect (X or XX) line action to remove fields from the view, or the Select (S or SS) line action to add fields which you had previously removed.

While viewing the list of fields in your view, only those fields that are included in the view are highlighted. Those that are excluded will be dimmed and marked with an X.

Excluding a field does not remove the field from the layout definition, nor does it affect the record position or length of any other field in the layout. It simply prevents a field from being displayed when the record data is formatted.

Field-level selection is not required for any view.
