Field Details Pane

The Field Details pane provides useful information about the currently selected field and form.

  1. Open a report in Appraise-It Pro.
  2. On the Development tab, click Field Details Pane.

The Field Details pane will open. It can be pinned, unpinned, resized, and rearranged just like other Appraise-It Pro panes.

Click in a field within your report to see information about that field.

Form Attributes

Attribute Description
Title The human-readable name of the form.
Form ID The form's unique identifier within Appraise-It Pro's library.
Form Index If the form is repeatable, the index of this instance of the form.

For example, if a report contains two TextAddendum addenda, the index of Text Addendum 1 is 0 and the index of Text Addendum 2 is 1.

Field Attributes

Attribute Description
Title The human-readable name of the field.
Instance ID The field's unique identifier within the current form.

This value is used internally by Appraise-It Pro and is generally not useful to integrations or scripting.
Signature Type The field's signature type, used to specify if a field is associated with the report's appraiser, supervisor, inspector, etc.

Note that on many addenda, the type InheritFromPrimary is used. This dynamically inserts the main signature type from the report's primary form.
Comparable Type The field's comparable type, used to specify if a field belongs to a sales comparable, listing comparable, rental comparable, etc.
Comparable Index The field's comparable index, used to specify which column in a given comparable type the field belongs to.

Note that the subject's comparable index is always 0.
Unit Index The field's unit index, used to specify which unit the field belongs to in multi-family properties.
Field ID The field's unique identifier within Appraise-It Pro's form library.

Field IDs attempt to uniquely identify data points that are repeated across multiple forms; for example, if the subject's address is "123 Fake Street, Anywhere, NC 12345", field ID StreetAddress will contain "123 Fake Street" and SecondLineAddress will contain "Anywhere, NC 12345", regardless of which form it appears on.
Is Repeatable Denotes whether or not a field on a repeatable form can contain different values on different instances of the form.

For example, in an FNMA 1004 report, Sales Comps 4-6 and Sales Comps 7-9 both have the same SalesComparisonAnalysis field but each form's instance of the field is treated as unique.
