Question: Can these new fields be added without modifying/customization of the screen?.
Answer: Yes, certainly. Only some setup is needed, but no programmatic change is needed to
setup DFF.
Question: So we create new fields in existing screen, but why the need of doing so?
Answer: Oracle delivers a standard set of fields for each screen, but different customers have
different needs, hence Oracle lets us create new fields to the screen.
Question: Are these new fields that get created as a result of DFF free text?
I mean, can end user enter any junk into the new fields that are added via DFF?
Answer: If you attach a value set to the field(at time of setup of dff), then field will no longer be
free text. The entered value in the field will be validated, also a list of valid values will be
provided in LOV.
Question : Will the values that get entered by the user in dff fields be updated to database?
Answer: Indeed, this happens because for each field that you create using DFF will be mapped to a
column in Oracle Applications.
Question: I want these fields to appear in screen only when certain conditions are met. Is it
possible?
Answer: Yes, we have something known as Context Sensitive Descriptive Flexfields.
