Fields

Fields

A field is an interface to the system’s data. A field can show the values, names, status, and properties of parameters, variables and other objects in the system. The fields can be edited but also moved or resized as graphical objects.

User-supplied help information is displayed in the status bar when the mouse cursor enters the editable area of the field. For editable fields, the user can also supply an error message that is displayed in case of value range violation.

The scripts may modify appearance and behavior of fields.

Note that adding a field does not add a new variable.
