Adding a field to your record template

The fields tab in the template designer lists the fields present in the current form, its inline subforms, and those present in the related forms (related via lookup and subform fields) and other services (related via the integration field). To add a field to your template:

   • Display just the field's value (and hide the field's name)

Adding an integration field to your record template
