Field type
A Field type defines a template for a field that can be placed on a page. This makes it easier for business engineers to organize and work with fields that share common presentation styles, data types or other field related properties.
For example, if one project requires multiple fields to have the same presentation styles then a field type can be created where those presentation styles can be defined. Afterwards the fields can be just assigned that type and so they will automatically inherit the presentation styles (rather than specifying the presentation styles individually for every field).
