# Record screen input field types

Familiarize yourself with different field types and their usage in the Mobile App Builder record screen.

When either creating a new record or editing an existing record, you are presented with field types specific to the record you selected. You cannot add additional field types. This restriction ensures that you only work with field types relevant to the open record. The following are all the available record screen input type fields.

|Input field type|Function|Image|
|----------------|--------|-----|
|Text input|Text field that can contain up to 40 characters.|\[Omitted image "mab-field-text.png"\] Alt text: Mobile App Builder record screen text input.|

|Record screen table|Tables consist of either a single reference record or a multi-reference record. Depending on the predefined setup of the table, you can either choose new records, edit existing records, or perform both these actions. For information on working with these tables, see [Record screen tables](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/mobile/mab-record-screen-tables.md).|\[Omitted image "mab-record-screen-table.png"\] Alt text: Mobile App Builder record screen table.|
