Field types that do not offer choice options to select from.

Field TypeDescriptionScalar TypeValue length or example, validation criteria

Big Integer

It is a numeric field type used to store large numbers. The size of the data stored is 8 bytes.

In SimpleOne, it is displayed as an input field with a numeric value.

int8
  • In SimpleOne, this range is used for record IDs: [100000000000000000 …
    999999999999999999]
  • You can use the following big integer range: [-9223372036854775808 … 9223372036854775807]

Days of week

This field is displayed as a drop-down list with checkboxes presenting the days of the week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Several options can be selected.

Technically, the field stores a numeric value or a sum of values. The size of data is 2 bytes. Each day of the week is assigned a value:

Monday = 1
Tuesday = 2
Wednesday = 4
Thursday = 8
Friday = 16
Saturday = 32
Sunday = 64

For example, if Tuesday (2) and Wednesday (4) are selected, the field value is 6.

int2

Minimum value of the field is 0 (days not selected).

Maximum value of the field is 127 (all days selected).

Decimal

This field type implements numbers with up to two digits after the decimal point (for example, 12.34).decimal

Duration

This field type is used to calculate the duration between two events in milliseconds. It stores an integer number.int8

The validation processing:

  1. The input string is categorized by the date and time parts (days, hours, minutes, seconds).
  2. It converts into a total millisecond amount and is saved as a Big Integer number.

Encrypted Password

This field type is used to provide secure password storage in a database, with the decoding ability (two-way encryption).

Before saving, the password is encoded based on one of the encryption algorithms and a random string. The password must be encoded before it can be used.

varcharThis field can contain all kinds of symbols. The value length is limited to 255 symbols.

Float

This field type implements a floating-point number.float4

Validation criteria:

  • Only numbers, a comma or a dot are allowed.
  • Maximum string length is 14 symbols.
  • Maximum fraction size is 12 symbols (after a delimiter that can be a comma or a dot, depending on a user's preference).

HTML

This field type is implemented as a rich text widget. There are various settings displayed as HTML tags in a database.

When this field is read-only, the data is displayed as HTML; otherwise, it is displayed as text that can be edited and transformed.

There are two modes to use in this field: rich text editor and source editor. You can enter the source editor by clicking Source on the panel.

Changes made to one of the modes are displayed in another mode, and vice versa.

textThis field can contain all kinds of symbols, and its length is unlimited until explicitly specified with the Max Length attribute. 

Integer

This is a numeric field type. The size of the stored data is 4 bytes.

int4The value specified should not exceed this range: [-2147483648 ... +2147483647].

Journal Input

This field type is used to operate with the comment widget. Due to its specifics, the field cannot be read-only. It is implemented as a text area with a placeholder or a field title.

There are two ways to leave a comment using the Journal Input column type:

  • via a journal input field:

    1. Enter the text in the field.

    2. Click Save or Save and Exit.

  • via the Activity Feed module:
    1. Click the Activity Feed module.
    2. Select the tab representing the message type you need.

    3. Enter text. 

When comments are added, they are stored in two tables:

  • Activities Stream Fields (sys_activities_stream_field) – comments from Activity Feeds that act as the user interface formatter.
  • Activity Feed Items (sys_activity_feed_item) – comments for the widget that can be configured via the <activityFeed> SimpleTag. 

If async after business rules are run, you can work with the field values of the Journal Input type in the same way as you do within after rules, when referring to the current context.

textThis field can contain all kinds of symbols, and its length is unlimited until explicitly specified with the Max Length attribute. 

JSON

This field type stores values in JSON.

jsonb

Field content example:

JSON
{
"name": "White", 
"color": "#ffffff", 
"policy": "Open", 
"sys_id": 158462172516422349, 
"application_id": 155931135900000002, 
"sys_created_at": "2020-03-19 12:42:05", 
"sys_created_by": 155931135900000001, 
"sys_updated_at": "2020-03-19 12:42:05", 
"sys_updated_by": 155931135900000001}

Fields of the JSON type are validated in the same way as fields containing JSON strings. To learn more about this, refer to the official JSON documentation.

For this type of fields, supporting fields were created in the sys_db_column table. Configuration settings of the items to be selected are located in the sys_choice table. The following types of choice options are available (they vary by the Choice Type field setting on the column creation form):

  • 'None'
  • Drop-down with 'None'

See the Reference Fields article to learn more.

text

The validation criteria are listed below:

  • All elements must be separated by a comma.

Record Class

This field type is used to label the table to which the specified record is related.

The Record Class field is created for a table once a newly inherited table is created for it. Initially, when creating a new root table (without any parents), the table will not have this field. Type of the stored data is ID. The size of the stored data is 8 bytes.

int8

The value specified should not exceed this range: [100000000000000000 ..
999999999999999999].

Example of usage:

  1. The Task table and its child table, the Incident table, have several records.
  2. When you look through a task list, you can find incidents among the mass of the tasks.
  3. For your purposes, you need to find incidents while being in the Task table context.
  4. To do this, you can filter these records based on the Record Class field.
  5. The Record Class field is a system field. It is always read-only and inaccessible for editing.

Reference

This field type works like an external key and stores the record ID of the specified table. This table must be specified in the Reference field. It is stored as Big Integer.

See the Reference Fields article to learn more.


In order to limit the output when referencing a field, use Reference Qualifiers.

int8You can use this range of whole big integers: [-9223372036854775808 … 9223372036854775807]

Template

This field type allows for storing a set of column names and their values in JSON format for all tables. Nested JSON format is used. On the first nesting level, the element numbers starting from 1 are used as keys.

Because the field type stores data pairs column name ↔ value, it is commonly used in template forms. You can use a range of whole bug integers if required. The field allows for applying stored data to records created from templates. 

The elements are objects in the following format:

  • key − the column ID in the Columns (sys_db_column) dictionary.
  • value − the column value.

This type of field requires populating the Dependent On Column field on the Type Specification tab with the appropriate table.
