# Globale Regeln

## Global rules

Global rules are known as 'Limitations' in the old version.

Globar rules help you define how fields function when a user creates a new item in aqua, optimizing workflows and improving team efficiency.

The field can be:

* required
* highlighted
* hidden
* read-only

Or

Can have

* default value
* specific value
