Field

  • Use title-style capitalization for field names. Don't capitalize field when it is part of a name, unless it’s in a heading or considered part of the proper name.
  • When referring to fields in relation to objects, use on instead of in.
  • If you're instructing the user to select something or enter a value, tag the value as <userinput>. Otherwise, for values such as field defaults or acceptable values, use <codeph>. Don't use quotation marks for these values.

Example

When you create a custom field on a standard object, add the custom field to your package explicitly.
