This article describes how to create a Field Set. Start with reading What is a Field Set? before continuing with this article. 

How to create a FieldSet 

Note! You need to have admin access to inriver Control Center to create a field set. Read Accessing inriver Control Center on how to get access after receiving approval from your system admin. 

A Fieldset can be created either from the entity type level: 

Or directly from the Fieldset section: 

Both actions bring us to the same section, where we can set the Fieldset's ID and name, and choose which entity should the field set be available for (dropdown list): 

How to assign a FieldSet to a field

Once the fieldset is created, we can now assign it to our selected field type by going to its properties and selecting the Fieldset from the dropdown list: 

If we only want the field type to be shown on entites associated with the fieldset, we want to check the Exclude from Default View option (see more info: Field Type Properties). If the option is not checked, the field will always be shown. Normally when using fieldsets, this option should be checked.

(Good to know: fields that don't belong to any fieldsets are considered global, and will always be displayed.)

The overview of fields included in our Field Set can be checked here: 

How to delete a FieldSet

To delete a fieldset, head on to the Fieldset section and click Delete next to the selected section: 

Sorting order of FieldSets

Fieldsets are sorted by FieldSet ID, which you set when creating it. These can not be edited. 

Good to know 

• Currently you can only apply one Fieldset on one Entity.  
• Mandatory fields are currently not supported with Fieldsets, please see: Allow for mandatory fields controlled by FieldSets
