A View field does not create a column in the database table when the template is being saved. Rather, it is used:

• either as a non-editable display field; or,
• as a button.

Here are some practical applications:

• As a display field, any Procedure might retrieve data from one or more database tables, concatenate the retrieved and possible other text, and display it in this field.
• As a button, it could have a Procedure with instructions to carry out certain actions
  e.g. launch a report Query.
• As a Pop-up list, any Procedure could select one of the available values and display them; or, it could have its own Procedure which can have a distinct set of instructions for each value of the pop-up list.
