Introduction
Data Modules in Corteza are built with data fields. There are many different types of data fields. Each Field Type can have:
Attributes. These allow us to customize a Field Type to our needs e.g. turn a number into a measure of currency or weight.
Sanitizers. These allow us to clean up data before it is saved e.g. round a number with 7 decimal places to a number with 2 decimal places.
Validators. These allow us to determine if a field value is a valid entry or not e.g. someone's age should not be a negative number.
This guide concerns itself only with Attributes for the named Field Type. Sanitizer and Validators are the subject of a separate guide which can be found here.
To access Data Modules, click on the "Admin Panel" on the top of the left menu bar in any Corteza app.
The Email Input Field Type
The Email Input Field type in Corteza ensures email addresses are entered in the correct format. Once the Email Input Field Type has been selected in the "Edit Module" page, click on the Wrench icon to the right of the field type in order to tailor its attributes.
In the Email input tab you will see a single checkbox named "Don't turn email into link". This lets you decide whether the email address is clickable or not. This depends entirely on your preference and has no impact on anything else you do in Corteza. Once you have made your choices, hit "Save and close".
When back in the "Edit Module" page, hit "Save" again to save the Module changes.
