About managing the display order for fields and field values

You can reorder standard and custom fields in addition to reordering lists of field values.

Tip:

Select one or more fields in the Category or View list:

Click

to move the defined value up in the list.
Click

to move the defined value down in the list.

Standard fields appear in the following order:

Topic fields
Action fields
Attachment fields

The custom fields appear after the standard fields in the order you added them. You can modify the default sequence:

For a topic—On the Add Topic page or Topic General Information section of the Topic page.
For an action—On the Add Topic Action page or Action General Information section of the Topic Action page.
For a document-style attachment—On the Add Attachment page.
For a work team—On the Edit Work Team page.

Note:

A field can only have one display order, even if it appears in more than one context. You can prevent a field from appearing when the topic or action is in a given state by assigning a field access level of hidden to the field for that state. This also applies to attachments of different types.
