Create a Field Display Policy
-----------------------------

A Field Display Policy can be added to any of Data models, Relations and Views
to modify the default form that is available for the item. 
  
#. Choose the relevant hierarchy level.
#. Click **Add** from **Field Display Policies**.
#. Enter the **Name** and and optionally a **Description** for the Field Display
   Policy. If the name is 'default', the Field Display Policy will apply
   to the target model type by default.
#. Select or verify the model reference for the **Target Model Type**.
#. Click '+' adjacent to **Groups** and add a group **Title**. All the fields of
   the display policy should belong to a Group. If a group displays as a tab on
   the Admin Portal, the Title is the tab title.

   * Select the **Display as Fieldset** check box to show the group **Title** as
     a group header on the Admin Portal and without tabs, or as a group title on
     a tab called **Base** if more than one group has this check box enabled.
   * Enter a numeric value for **Number of Columns** if the fields should show 
     in columns.

#. On the **Fields** transfer boxes of the Group, select the required target model 
   type fields from the **Available** box and add them to the **Selected** box. The
   available fields include fields from all versions of the schema of the 
   target model type. Refer to the Rules When Creating a Field Display Policy 
   topic for the caveats that apply when selecting the fields.
#. For each selected field in a **Selected** transfer box, its attributes can be 
   configured in the **Field Overrides** group:

   * Field - Select the field to which the attributes apply.
   * Title - Select the label text to be shown for the attribute.
   * Help Text - Enter text to display as the field on-line help and form
     tool tip for the attribute. If no text is added, the model attribute
     description is shown.
   * Disabled - select the check box if the field should show as disabled.
   * Input Type - The default display of the input field can be selected.
     For details, refer to the Field Display Policy Input Reference topic.

#. Click **Save** on the button bar to save the Field Display Policy.

The created Field Display Policy is available to be applied to the model by 
using it in a Menu Layout.
