Field PropertiesGeneral Properties
Translate Values The Translate Values tab is available only for character fields.
The Translate table is a prompt table, which is similar to an all-purpose data dictionary, to store values for fields that don’t need individual prompt tables of their own. A Universal table(PSXLATITEM) can be used across all PeopleSoft Environment to populate Pre-defined drop down values
Field Definition: We can specify purpose of this field Owner ID: Application Module like HR, Base Benefit
Last Update by: Auto insertion (cannot be changed)Date/Time: System takes current date and timeBy User: System take Logged-in username as updated by user

Record PropertiesGeneralUse
Record Field PropertiesUseEdit
A Record is a collection of Fields. A Record definition can be an SQL table, an SQL View, a Sub record..

Purpose of record Type
An SQL: (Structured Query Language table)A physical SQL table in the database.
An View: (Structured Query Language view)Select to define a record definition that corresponds to a SQL view, which is not a physical SQL table in the database
Dynamic View:Select to define a record definition that can be used like a view inpages and PeopleCode, but is not actually stored as a SQL view. Dynamic views can provide superior performance in some situations, such as search records

Purpose of record Type…2
Derived/Work: Select to define the record definition as a temporary workspace touse during online page processing.
Sub Record: subrecord—a group of fieldsthat are commonly used in multiple record definitions. We can change a group of fields in one place, as opposed to changing each record definition in every record
Query View: To define the record definition as a view that is constructed usingthe PeopleSoft Query tool. Before we create the view, PeopleSoftApplication Designer prompts you to save the definition.

PeopleTools table to store Record definition Attributes
PSRECDEFN: Record definitions are stored in a this table. This table stores all attributes of a Record definition. Like Record type, Audit Record name, Parent record name, index count, field count. SQL table and SQL View are data based objects and stored with PS_ prefix in database
PSREFIELD: This table stores the fields that the record definition contains. Each field with its own edit properties. It may translate value edit, prompt table edit. Or Yes or no editPSPROGCOUNT: contains the Number of PeopleCode events for the record field.

PSINDEXDEFN: This table contains a row for each index for the record definition.And populated only if the record definition is an SQL table or an SQL view
PSKEYDEFN:This table contains all record field that compose the index are stored with key sequence

Naming Convention for Records_TBL: Identifies an edit or prompt table that contains data that is
used for validation,
_VW: Identifies a record definition that is physically implemented by defining a SQL view.
_DVW: Identifies a dynamic view.
_WRK: Identifies derived work records.
_SBR: Identifies subrecords.
_QVW Identifies a query view.

_WL: Identifies the record as a worklist record definition
_R: Identifies work record definitions for Structured Query Report reports.
AUDIT_: Identifies record definitions that store audit information for other record definitions in the database
WEBLIB_: Identifies record definitions that store internet scripts. Internet scripts are generally located in FieldFormula PeopleCode events.
FUNCLIB_: Identifies record definitions that contain written PeopleCode functions, as opposed to built-in functions.
