Configuring Fields

When adding a field, specify:

• Field Name - Internal identifier (auto-generated from label)
• Type - The field type from the list above
• Display Format - How the field renders (type-specific options)
• Required - Whether the field must have a value
• Unique - Whether values must be unique across entries

For Entry Link and Entry Links fields, you can optionally restrict which database types can be linked using the Allowed Schemas setting.

For Record Link and Record Links fields, you can optionally restrict which record types (Issues, Meetings, Documents, Files, Milestones) can be linked using the Allowed Record Types setting.

For dropdown and multi-select fields, define the available options using the options editor.
