Use field values to define items in a selection list presented to users or a set of values for the Table features on the General tab of the Property form, and to support localization by overriding an English word or phrase with an equivalent term in another language.

Many field values restrict values of a property to one of a fixed list of choices, but the list of choices — recorded as rules rather than in code or data — may evolve with different versions of an application.

Other field values support localization of words, phrases, and sentences that appear on portal displays, reports, and user forms.

Access

Use the Application Explorer to access field values that apply to the work types in your application. Use the Records Explorer to list all field values available to you.

Category

Field values are part of the Data Model category. A field value rule is an instance of the Rule-Obj-FieldValue rule type.

Database table

Field values are normally stored in the PegaRULES database as rows of the pr4_rule_fieldvalue table.
