Syntax
Importance = Additional;
Remarks
You use this property to control the amount of information that is visible on a page. It is useful on pages that have a large number of fields, where you can display the most important fields by default, but users have the option to show more as needed.
As a developer, the Importance property can also be set also by Use Designer (see Use Designer). In the client, users can change the setting for their workspace by using personalization (see Personalizing Your Workspace.
Note
In version 24 (runtime 14) and earlier, the Importance property is ignored on StandardDialog and ConfirmationDialog page types. This behavior means that a field can't be hidden under the Show more action even if the user tries to do so using personalization or designer. The field also can't be promoted in the header of a collapsed FastTab. However, starting in version 25 (runtime 15), the property is fully respected in the client so it behaves the same as it does on any other page type. As a result, after upgrading to version 25, users might have a slightly different experience on some StandardDialog and ConfirmationDialog page types.
