Each attribute value specifies the type of data that the field can hold.

Typically, you can meet the following types of attribute values:

• Text fields

  You can search by a text element which contains a series of letters. The default search string operator for text fields can be set in Global Settings > Basic Settings or the User Settings > Basic Settings.

  See section 'Wildcards in 'like' / 'not like' and 'start with' queries' in the 'Condition Operators' topic for information on using wildcards in text field searches.

• Attributes with assigned value sets

  The values are selected from a drop-down box.

• Date/Time fields

  These fields are designed to store a date and time value.

  You can either enter the date explicitly or you can call the calendar function by clicking in icon at the right side of the field and select the date.

• Boolean fields

  This field type is designed to store a value of 1 or 0 (Yes/No).

• Number (Decimal number) fields

  Number field type is used for entering both fixed-point and floating-point numbers.
