Detecting field changes

[GregM]

There is some obvious mechanism which is used in a form to dynamically detect field changes.  To be specific, if I'm looking at a form, and someone changes the record, I see the update icons appear.

Can anyone direct me to the mechanism for how that is done?  I'd like to explore implementing it in a custom page (not a SN form, just a UI page) that we have.

Any direction would be appreciated.

Hi GregM,

I believe you are asking about the form indication a user sees when another user/process changes values on the same record. And a notification if the field value has changed since you opened the record. I can't remember that feature name at the moment, but I believe that is implemented in proprietary code.  You can create a Support Case to confirm. There's the additional challenge that there are multiple application nodes and updates can occur on different nodes. A database update needs to notify each application node. How that is done is also proprietary code I believe. I would expect you to see the same behavior on a custom table.  Again, create a Support Case if not. However UI Pages may not support that.
