Extensible Flexfield (EFF)

Extensible Flexfield (EFF) is a new feature added in Fusion Application with existing Descriptive & Key Flexfields. It is similar to descriptive flexfield, but with the ability to add as many context-sensitive segments (attributes) to a flexfield as they need.

Some of the key benefits using Extensible Flexfields are

1. Number of configurable segments are not fixed unlike fixed number of segments in DFF
2. Attributes can be grouped into one or more attribute groups (ie contexts) rather than only one in DFF
3. EFF supports one-to-many relationships between the row and the extended attribute rows
4. Improved access controls than using DFF. It is possible to control the view and edit the attributes based on the context configurations.
