Pro category fields and prompts

Fields and prompts

A field holds a value, such as a date or a quantity. A prompt is the name shown beside it. With a Pro plan you can rename these, hide the ones you don't need and add your own.

Plan: Pro. Without a Pro plan the app says it is needed and shows the plans. Your own settings are kept if your plan ends.

Rename, hide and reorder fields

1. Open the Category and tap Customise fields.
2. To rename a field, type a new Displayed name. Names can be 1 to 40 characters long. Tap Use standard label to go back to the original.
3. To hide a field, untick Displayed?. Essential fields must stay displayed.
4. Use Move up and Move down to change the order.
5. Tap Save.

Good to know: Hidden values are kept. You can show the field again at any time.

Add your own fields

1. Tap + Add column.
2. Type its Displayed name and choose its Entry type.
3. Choose whether it is mandatory or optional.
4. Tap Save.

• The types are: whole number, decimal (two places), short text (up to 200 characters), long text (up to 4,000 characters), date and time.
• Standard fields cannot change type.
• A hidden mandatory field will not stop you from saving.

Where it applies

Your changes apply to Things, Parts and Contents in that Category: when you edit them, view their details and print them.

Good to know: Field names stay exactly as you typed them, whatever language the app is in.
