Custom Fields
The app allows you to create your own custom fields which will show up on tables and can also be imported along with data.
Custom fields can be created through the Settings - Workspace - Custom fields
, for every data element in the app (e.g. Part, Inventory, Storage, etc.) and can have one of these types:
- String
- SI value (learn more)
- Boolean
- Option
- Date
- URL
- App Element
The options in custom fields of type Option
can have a color, picked from a pre-defined color palette (so you don't have to pick the right green every time you want a green and so the color contrast and readability looks right on the app).
The App Element
type is meant to be used when a field should point to another data element(s) in the app. For example, in case you need to create a custom field that would hold a Preferred Storage
location for a part, pointing to a Storage location, that custom field would then point to an App Element
of type Storage
. You can also set it to point to multiple values of the same type (e.g. to several storage locations).
