New Field Button

Hello Everyone,
maybe a stupid question but i am new to this so be patient with me.
In the tutorials it says creating a new field by clicking on the new field button unter the form settings.

like here to see

i have done it this way. and it opens a new field in the html code but the database it doesn’t. To do so i have to switch over to the database builder is this correct?

thanks in advance!

This option is to create a field without persistence.

If you want to persist this field,change on database (using SqlBuilder or your favourite database Management tool) and then sync under Application menu of your application.

In addition, custom fields can be used for additional purposes. I.e. I like to display a name and address in one field, but there are two fields in the database. Then I remove the name and address from the form and add a custom field. Then in the event onload I concatenate the two fields into the customfield. Just a sample.

aaahhh I got it! Thanks. After playing around with the software since one week i slowely understand it’s main concept and then it is very easy and self explaining. very cool!
