In the Experts area the 'Id field', the 'Status field' and as well as the Ordering field are shown. The Ordering field does not show the order number. To be able to move and order it, click on that "Up/Down" button(see video),.

Once there had been client that requested that it should be possible to see the date on which something had been created as well as the identity of the person who created it. Component Builder then needed to be adapted so that those things could also be overwritten.
This is what has been done: If a field is created in Component Builder, as a field would normally be created and any of these names should be given to it, 'Created by' or 'Created date', but exactly the same name.

If 'Models' is opened, there is a place called 'Forms'. When it is opened, a list of forms may be seen that correspond to the back end views that you have created. In this instance this 'Job Order' is the one.

'Modified by' and some of its default can be seen. So this(See video) value needs to be overwritten. Then these values need to be updated or used.

NB. This is the only part that should not be changed, if it is changed, it will not be known if a attempt has been made to override one of the default fields because it uses the name as the identifier. Back in Editing the field, the fields that were created was the first part. Close them again.

If you would like the fields to be displayed in the same place as before, in the Edit view, then add it to the '15th' tab. It is very unlikely that so many tabs would be created.
Now what is a tab? If you would to go to the view, then this is tab 1 this tab 2 3 4 5 and 6(see video). Since publishing may vary. [00:06:14](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHQfIhWHYyQ&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h06m14s)
It does not make sense to target it in any way directly as the 5th of the 4th. So a very high number like 15 is chosen. If number 15 is selected, it will add these two fields in the same place it would if it had to build it for you. But if for some reason the field should be displayed in a different tab, it may be selected and put in the 3rd tab and saved.

Then indicate in what tab it should now be displayed. So now the 'Create' date no longer shows in the 'Publish' tab. It is only created by what shows up here(See video).[00:07:24](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHQfIhWHYyQ&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h07m24s) The field gets moved to a different tab, and displays the field in the List view as well. Simply because the fields were added(see video) and set to be displayed and to be added to the third tab. It is moved back to number 15 which is its default place. Save it, compile and install it.

It is no longer seen in 'Documents', in 'Production', in 'Stock list', it is back in 'Published' in the correct place. That's where it will be set if it is not override. Using the 15th tab as the target puts it in its default place. If another tab number is used, it removes it from its default place, and puts it where it is assigned. That is how you can override the Custom Added Fields in the back end view. [00:08:49](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHQfIhWHYyQ&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h08m49s)
