Chapter 5. Using the Business Data field type in lists and libraries
This chapter covers
The Business Data field type is a type of field you can create, just like a Single Line of Text, Currency, or Date Time field type. Only it allows you to look up data from the LOB system and then store the data as metadata in a list item or document. We’re going to explore the out-of-the-box functionality of this field type, as well as look at improving it using InfoPath. We’ll then look at how to overcome additional issues by creating our own field type.
