It may happen that you would prefer to use some of the default fields in a different manner than that of Component Builder's way of implementation. What is the default fields?

It indicates that the 'ID', the 'asset_id', the 'state', the 'access', the 'ordering', the 'created_by', the 'date_created', 'modified_by', 'date_modified', 'checked_out', 'Check_out_time', 'version', 'hits', 'metakey', 'metadescription', and 'metadata' has already been added to the view.

In fact, it is not necessary to create them. Sometimes you might want to display some of these fields in a different area of the application. Currently, the ID field and the State field are the only fields being shown by default in the List view.

In this specific Job Order view, there is a field 'Created-by'. It may be opened in a new tab. There is also a field 'Created-date'.

The label is 'Created by', and the user that 'Created this' is the description. [00:03:26](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHQfIhWHYyQ&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h03m26s) That's all that is needed for a user type. In the 'Created-date'(which is a calendar type,) 'Created', the date, it was created, the label and some of its defaults are used.

If these values are unknown it can be seen in the compiled field.

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 value must be overwritten; these values must 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 an attempt has been made to overwrite one of the default fields because it uses the name as the identifier. Back in Editing the fields that were created was the first part. Close them again.
