If you configured any additional data in the previous section you will need to create entity fields / table columns for the fields on your forms so that this data can be saved when it's returned from our APIs. For each additional data item you enabled repeat the process below:
Go to Customize the System.
Expand Entities in the left panel.
Expand your chosen entity you want to add the fields to (e.g. Account) and then click Fields under the chosen entity.
Give your field an appropriate Display Name.
The Name field will be auto-populated but can be adjusted as required.
Select an appropriate type for the Data Type field.
Make a note of these newly created field names as you'll need to know them when adding fields to a form and mapping fields in future sections.
Special fields
There are a handful of special fields which provide optional functionality that will give an extra level of detail on validated address, email and phone data. The creation of these is detailed below:
Configure this optional functionality to store the validation status and a timestamp together with the validated addresses, emails or phone numbers.
Go to Customize the System.
Expand Entities in the left panel.
Expand your chosen entity you want to add the fields to (e.g. Account) and then click Fields under the chosen entity.
You need to create two fields for each validation type (address, email and/or phone). These fields are:
Validation message
Click New in the top bar to create a new field.
Give your field a Display Name e.g. Address validation message.
The Name field will be auto-populated but can be adjusted as required.
Select Single Line of Text for the Data Type field.
Click Publish All Customizations in the top menu bar and close the window.
Remember the field names
Make a note of these newly created field names as you'll need to know them when adding fields to a form and mapping fields in future sections.
Country phone codes (or international calling codes) are prefixes assigned by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to identify countries for international calls. You can configure this optional functionality to include country phone codes in your form, and you also have the option to preselect a default country code. Without a country code field, the user will need to manually add the appropriate international code before entering their phone number.
You will need an Experian Phone Validation license to be able to use this feature.
Go to Customize the System.
Expand Entities in the left panel.
Expand your chosen entity you want to add the fields to (e.g. Account) and then click Fields under the chosen entity.
Click New in the top bar to create a new field.
Give your field a Display Name e.g. Country Phone Code.
The Name field will be auto-populated but can be adjusted as required.
Select Option Set for the Data Type field.
Select Yes for Use Existing Option Set.
Select Country phone codes for the Option Set.
[Optional] Select a country for the Default Value. This value will appear as the default for a new form.
Note that the list of country phone codes is customizable in the Choices section of the left-hand menu of the main Power Apps interface. The Choice to edit is called Country phone codes.
Remember the field name
Make a note of the newly created field name as you'll need to know it when adding fields to a form and mapping fields in future sections.
