For a data entry step, for each tab page, use field groups to define how the data entry fields are grouped in the relevant section of the workflow task dialog. Each data entry field must be part of a field group.

On the workflow task dialog, a field group is shown only if it has at least one field set up in the data entry workflow template.

Usually, you create field groups when you select data entry fields with the 'Select fields' function.

To complete the field group setup for a tab page, you can:

  • Edit field groups.
  • Add field groups.
  • Set up conditions for each field group.
  • Review and edit the fields setup.
