Configuring Fields
You can configure fields in any of the following ways:
- Edit the field properties and options
- Apply a security level so that only Analysts and Users with the appropriate security access can view or edit the field
- Apply a mask that ensures that only a certain type of information can be keyed into a field
Changes to these properties only apply to the selected screen. Fields that are on related records, such as a user’s telephone number on a Call screen, are Read Only by definition, so you cannot apply a condition or make them Required. You can however make them conditionally Hidden.
Setting Field Properties
Before you start
Before making amendments to the configuration of fields, we strongly recommend that you undertake appropriate training on the Designer.
Exercise caution when using the Designer to modify designs which have been customized by Alemba Professional Services. Contact your Alemba account manager if you are uncertain about whether your actions will impact these customizations.
To configure fields using the Designer, you must have Designer selected in your General Access Security Role.
To maintain an audit trail of changes made to screens, forms and message templates, Designer must be selected in the Auditing window.

- Make the Find a Screen tab uppermost, if necessary.
- Select the entity type (such as Call) from the left panel. The table displays the configurable screens, templates and forms associated with the selected entity, with the first one highlighted. Items you cannot create or configure are not included. The number of screens associated with the selected entity is displayed in the bottom right hand corner of the window.
- Filter and sort the screens if you wish:
To filter the number of entries displayed on the table, use the fields at the top of the window:
This tab display has two panes. The left pane contains an alphabetical list of the main entity types in vFire Core (such as, Agreement, Bulletin, Call, etc) with which screens are associated.
The main pane has a set of filters across the top, beneath which there is a browse table containing details of the screens, templates and forms.
Screen Name Type a name and select .
Screen Set A drop-down list of all screen sets. Each entity type has a standard screen set which has the same name as the entity. For example, the default screen set for calls is Call Screen Set.
Certain entity types, such as Organization, Person, Agreement and Location, only have default screen sets. Others, such as Call, Request, Task, CMDB item, Contract and Knowledge can have custom screen sets and these will appear on the list. Only one Details screen and one Submission screen can exist per screen set. You can have multiple message templates and service desk forms in the same screen set.

If you select multiple fields, only the field properties common to all the fields are shown. This enables you to update the common field properties. If you select a field for which you cannot change the properties, a message will display in the left pane to inform you “There are no settings associated with this item”.
Label | The screen label for the field, button or section (except sections without headings). The default value is the Display Name. The field label is only used on the screen you are editing, so the same field can have different labels on different screens. It is not used in searches (search criteria) or reports (parameters). Display name must be used for this purpose. Field labels, particularly those which appear on the Self Service portal, should be managed with care and attention to detail. See Useful Tips for Designing your vFire Self Service Field Labels for more details. |
||||||||
Size | A pre-defined physical size for the field. Options include: The Designer supports relative positioning, so depending on the size of the field and adjacent fields, some fields may be automatically moved or resized to fit all fields within the width of the window. |
||||||||
Read Only |
Use the drop down list to select whether the field is read only, that is, Analysts and Users will be able to see the field value, but cannot change it. If Yes is selected, the Required property is disabled. A list of available rules is displayed. If a rule is selected the field is read only while the condition in the rule is met. If the field appears on a portal review screen, this property is hidden by default. |
||||||||
Required | Select the checkbox to make the field mandatory. Select the ![]() ![]() This property is not available for editing fields on portal review screens or message templates. It is also unavailable if Read Only has been selected. You can link a rule to one or more Action, so that when you perform that action, the rule is applied. For example, you can leave some fields optional until you forward the call, at which point the system will check the rule, and if the condition is true, it will ensure that those fields are filled in first. This additional feature is available for the following Actions:
You can also make fields Required for Actions without setting a rule, in which case the fields will always become mandatory when that action is invoked. |
||||||||
Hidden |
Select whether the field, button, or section is to be hidden. Open the dropdown to select Yes or No or an available rule. If a button is hidden, the corresponding option is also hidden in the explorer. If a rule is selected, the field or button is hidden if the condition in the rule is met. If a section and the fields contained in the section use this setting in a way that conflicts, the most restrictive setting is used, that is, if the section is hidden, the fields are automatically hidden, regardless of the setting selected for the individual fields. |
||||||||
No Default Value | No default value is provided/required. This field is disabled unless Required is checked. | ||||||||
Edit Mask |
This only applies to text fields, and defines the input mask for the field. Select the |

||||||||
Tooltip | Tooltip text for the field. For HTML editor fields, the tooltip is visible when hovering over the Full View hyperlink. | ||||||||
Filter |
This only applies to search fields on portal submission screens. If checked, a filter is applied to searches performed from this field. Select the Ensure that you have selected the checkbox. Searches in this field are limited by the conditions defined in the filter as well as permissions defined in the Self Service portal role of the user. |
Display Name |
The name for the field. This appears wherever the field is referenced in the system, such as in search criteria, reports, and when adding the field to a screen in the Designer. To specify a new name, simply overwrite the existing one. |
Audit | Select to enable auditing of the changes made to this field. Changes can be seen under the Audit option in the explorer of the corresponding screen. If the field is a standard data field or an extensible field inherited from another screen, this option will be labeled Audit (Impacts Parent). Otherwise, if the field is particular to the current screen, it will be labeled Audit. You cannot redefine audit properties for inherited (child) fields. |
Access |
This option is not required for certain field types. Select the security access level for the field. If the field is a standard data field or an extensible field inherited from another screen, this option will be labeled Access (Impacts Parent). If it is particular to the current screen, it will be labeled Access. You can apply the following access levels: See Applying a Security Level to a Field for more details. |
Useful Tips for Designing your vFire Self Service Field Labels
When you are configuring fields that are visible in vFire Self Service, you need to consider certain design aspects so that your fields, buttons and widgets remain properly aligned and have full visibility. You also need to be aware of certain cascading design features, so that if you change a label in one screen, it will override a field label in certain others, as described below.
Service Action and Service Bundle Screens
You should be aware that if you make the text too long, it will wrap around, misaligning columns in adjacent widgets.
To prevent misalignment of the fields, the maximum of characters for the Qty field label should not exceed 15, and for the Order button should not exceed 25.
The order for displaying the Order/Submit button is as follows:
- If there is a label value in the individual Service Action or Service Bundle record in vFire Core, it is used.
- If not, the label value in the CMDB Item Type window is used.
- If this does not contain a value either, the value set in Designer for the Service Action/Service Bundle Review Screens and Global Label for the Tile are used.
It is not possible to display a value set in Designer on the Tiles.
Using Rules
You can specify conditional rules for how fields behave so that your details screen displays different fields, or makes them, say, mandatory or options, depending on dynamically changing conditions.
You can only apply one rule to a field. However, you can
You can learn more about using dynamic logic in the video tutorial.
Dynamic rules based on Call Priority are not triggered on portal submission screens.
For demonstration purposes, we will create a rule in the call submissions screen in the self service portal for if the urgency of the call is critical. We can then use that rule to hide certain fields that may not be necessary when time is of the essence.

FAQ
What happens to screen rules I created using the pre 9.2 Rules Builder?
Any existing rules will be upgraded to the new Rules Builder format and applied in the same way as before.
Can I apply many rules to a single screen element?
No just one. If you want to apply two rules, just create a third rule that contains both of the others.
Are rules available on other screens?
Yes - you can see rules from parent screens.
If I clone a screen with rules, are the original rules available on the new screen?
Yes
Does this affect the behavior of the Unique field property?
No – that continues to work as before.
Is it available yet in other parts of vFire, such as vFire Officer and vFire Portal?
Not yet. They will act as if these properties are not set.
Using Masks
You can create an input mask for a text field that can be validated when a value is entered into that field.
If an input field must have numeric data (such as a telephone number) you can apply a mask so that the field will only accept numeric data.
Masks can only be applied to text fields. Changing the mask of a field on a screen does not affect other screens in which the field is used. This means that a field can have a different mask applied to it in each screen in which it is used.

Applying a Security Level to a Field
The system administrator defines the Security Levels for your system, and assigns appropriate ones through the Person Details record.
You can use the Designer to assign an access level to a field for each security profile to which you have access. By linking security profiles to a screen, analysts will only be able to interact with the field (on any screen on which the field appears) if their security profile is mapped to the appropriate access level. If an analyst has been assigned different security profiles, and these have been assigned different access levels in the field settings, the lowest level of security will apply.
If an analyst is assigned the Change Manager and HR Manager security profiles, and the security on a field is set as: Change Manager = Full, HR Manager = Read Only, the analyst will have Full access to the field.
You can apply security to standard fields, custom fields and non data fields (such as Sections and Headings).
When you create a new custom screen from a parent) screen, the security applied to the fields on the parent screen is inherited by the custom screen. However, you can alter these.
Before you start
To reposition layout elements on a screen using the Designer, you must have Designer selected in your General Access Security Role.
To maintain an audit trail of changes made to screens, forms and message templates, Designer must be selected in the Auditing window.
When copying a screen from another screen set, you will only be able to set the security level on the new screen for the security profiles to which you have access, regardless of the partition assigned to either the copied or the new screen.
You cannot apply security levels to fields on a portal review screen. Nor can you redefine access properties for inherited (child) extension fields.
