A Field is an element of the data set that is retrieved by an Entry. The data set that is retrieved can only be accessed through these Fields. Each Field has a data type. The possible data types for Fields are a subset of the data types allowed in the databases associated with a Connection Type. In ITP Language, numerical Fields are always mapped to the NUMBER type of ITP Language and alphanumerical Fields are always mapped to the TEXT type of ITP Language. The values are converted by ITP during evaluation of the Model. Information about the original data type is lost in this conversion.
