Add a field to a record page using an existing column

Level: intermediate
Example

Add a Country field to the contact profile on the contact page. The contact object schema already includes the column that corresponds to the Country field of the contact page.

Create a replacing view model schema of the contact page​

  1. Go to the Configuration section and select a custom package to add the schema.

  2. Click Add → Replacing view model on the section list toolbar.

  3. Fill out the schema properties.

    • Set Code to "ContactPageV2."
    • Set Title to "Display schema - Contact card."
    • Select "ContactPageV2" in the Parent object property.

  4. Set up the field layout. To do this, add a configuration object with the settings that determine the field layout to the diff array of modifications.

    View the source code of the replacement view model of the contact page below.

    ContactPageV2
    define("ContactPageV2", [], function() {
        return {
            /* The name of the record page object's schema. */
            entitySchemaName: "Contact",
            /* Display the field on the record page. */
            diff: [
                /* Properties to add a [Country] field to the page. */
                {
                    /* Add the element to the page. */
                    "operation": "insert",
                    /* The meta name of the parent container to add the field. */
                    "parentName": "ProfileContainer",
                    /* Add the field to the element collection of the parent element. */
                    "propertyName": "items",
                    /* The meta name of the field to add. */
                    "name": "Country",
                    /* The properties to pass to the element's constructor. */
                    "values": {
                        /* Set the field type to lookup. */
                        "contentType": Terrasoft.ContentType.LOOKUP,
                        /* Set up the field layout. */
                        "layout": {
                            /* The column number. */
                            "column": 0,
                            /* The row number. */
                            "row": 6,
                            /* The column span. */
                            "colSpan": 24
                        }
                    }
