Field Display Policies are applied to data models and domain models in order to modify the default form that is displayed when instances of these models are created or accessed. With Field Display Policies, the fields on a model form can be grouped, hidden, on-line help text can be added, a field can be set as read-only, it can be provided with a new label and the field order on the form can be re-sequenced. More than one Field Display Policy can be created for a particular model so that the selection of a particular policy will present another view of the model form. A Field Display Policy can also be selected for a particular model in a User Role so that users that belong to this User Role will by default view the particular model according to this display policy.
