Fieldsets ImageFieldset New/Edit Help

Within each Object/Table the fields to be generated may be grouped into Fieldsets . This allows for the development of front end views that position sets of fields in specific areas of the components output e.g. one fieldset may be placed at bottom of the output area - overriding any sequence for the fields themselves.

Some predefined fieldsets are automatically generated based on the feature and functionality settings in an object/table.
