Note:
To find out more about the respective field types (such as text, dropdown, date), move the mouse over a field. A mouse-over will appear in which you will then find a brief explanation of each field type.
Give the field a field name and set any options you want
You can choose from the following on / off fields:
whether the field should also be visible in the app or only in the inventory manager. Accordingly, select your option under 'App' -> 'Visible in app'.
whether the field should be editable on the scanner or in the app, then leave the option 'Read-only on scanner' deactivated
whether the field should remain editable in the future. To do this, select your option under 'General' > 'Editable'.
whether it should be a mandatory field
whether the field should be displayed in the detailed view of the inventory manager. Click here and we will show you where you can find the detailed view of your objects.
In addition, you can:
optionally assign a standard value to save time when adding new items to seventhings, e.g. for larger purchases.
assign the field to a group (e.g. a separate group for 'Documents')
The respective fields of this group appear together in the detailed view of the object. Here we will show you exactly how this looks and how groups help you to keep the perfect overview of your objects.
additionally you can choose if the field should be included in the full textsearch or not.
