By default, the product fields are displayed in order of DO (Display Order).  A different method of sorting can be selected by clicking the up and down arrows in the heading of each column.

SID (System ID)
The SID (System ID) is a unique number that identifies the field to the system.  This number cannot be changed.

Display Order
The Display Order determines the order in which the product fields are arranged in the product editor or storefront.  The lower the number, the higher the priority.

Title
The title of the product field appears to the left of the field in the product editor.

Type
The type of product field is the method of data input (such as a text field,  dropdown menu, or radio buttons).

Unique
If a product field is set to be unique, the product field data that is saved for each product cannot be identical to the data saved in the field for any other product.

Required
If a product field is set to be required, a product cannot be created if the field does not contain data. 

Strict
If a product field is set to be strict, only letters, numbers, and underscores can be typed into the field.  Otherwise, any characters may be entered.

Encrypt
If a product field is set to encrypt, the data for the product field will be encrypted when it is saved to the database.

Internal
If selected, the product field will not be displayed to customers in the storefront; it will be used in the administration area only.

Email
If selected, the product field will be included with product related store generated emails.

Note
Notes are hidden and displayed to store administrators only.  Click on the number to view/edit the note or to add a new note.

Active
An active field appears in the product editor, while an inactive field does not appear.  A green dot in this column indicates that the field is active, while a red X indicates that the product field is inactive.

Clone
This tool makes a complete copy of the parent product field.  This can be useful for creating new product fields based off of an existing product field.

Clicking on the SID number or    icon for a product field will forward you to the Product Field Editor, where the product field can be edited.
