Field state markers are a very useful way of identifying the state of a field as set by state management.

1.With an app loaded in the App Designer, and from the View menu select Object Markers - On. Visual markers indicate where a special state is selected. Note that these markers are only visible to the app designer; they will not be visible to the users of the app.

Showing Field State Markers

 

The following state markers are available:


Default (whatever the state was when the app instance was last submitted)

State - Default

Normal (editable)

State - Normal

Read-Only

State - Read-only

Disabled

State - Disabled

Hidden

State - Hidden

The same combinations for configuring field state on roles and stages are also available when making a field mandatory. Mandatory field checking is often better handled by the Check Mandatory behavior command though, rather than the field state management options. See Checking for Mandatory Fields.
