Hi @Sofvrg
The reference field is one which you use in your table but that exits in another table. Like we have a caller field on the Inc table, which is a reference to the sys user table. Reference fields are like relative in family they are not staying with you but they are available when you need them.

Hi,
When you wan to pick data of any table in any other table for ex:- you want to pick existing users in Incident table (Caller field) than you need to create a variable of Reference type (Mean you will refer any table and get the data from that table) and this reference type variable will look like Lookup on the forms. As you will be referring any table so that table will be called referenced table and the table where you created this reference variable will be called referencing table. In this way , reference field will create relationship among tables. Further details can be found here:-

Hello @Sofvrg
Reference field is a field which references the Table.
Reference fields are similar to choice fields, but instead of offering a static set of local options, the values are referenced from other Table.
Example: Caller field on Incident. (Which holds the Caller value from Sys_user table)
