Selecting the Item on Which to Base a Form

Each Microsoft Outlook item is a collection of fields. These collections of fields are what define the various forms. Some of these forms might be more useful for some applications than for others. To see the complete list of fields for an item, click All in the Field Chooser. For example, to see all the fields in a mail message, click All Mail Fields. If the field that you want is not listed, you can create a custom field by clicking New in the Field Chooser.
