Overview

The "Fields" are the input fields on the Add/Edit Item page. They represent attributes of each of your Items, such as: Scale, Manufacturer, Category, etc. Some of these fields can be altered in a variety of different ways.

From your Control Panel, click the "Edit Fields" button to navigate to the "Edit Item Fields" page where you can:

• Rename fields (excluding greyed out field names)
• Reorder fields (excluding fields without drag handles)
• Set whether or not to use fields (excluding required fields)
• Set whether or not to use a drop-down list for each field (excluding certain fields)
• And add a new field of your own

Rename Fields

To rename a field, simply type a new name for the desired field and click "Save Changes". If the field name you wish to change is greyed out, then you cannot rename that field.

Reorder Fields

To reorder your fields, click and hold the square icon on the left side of the field you wish to move (shows an up/down arrow) and drag the field up or down in the list of fields and drop it into the position (release your mouse button) n which you want it to be displayed on the Add/Edit Item page. Click the "Save Changes" button.

Use Field Settings

If there is a field you do not wish to have appear on your Add/Edit Item page, simply remove the checkmark from the check box in the "Use" column (just to the left side of the field's name). If the check box is greyed out and you cannot remove the checkmark, then you cannot remove that field as it is a required field. Click the "Save Changes" button when you are done.

Use List Settings

To specify whether or not to use a drop-down list of values for a specific field, place a checkmark in the "Uses List" check box for the desired field to use a list, or remove the checkmark to not use a list. If no "Uses List" check box is showing for a specific field, this means you cannot use a list for that field (generally date or money/numeric fields). Click the "Save Changes" button when you're done.

Add New Field

To add a new field of your own:

• Click the "Add New Field" button at the top of the page
• Enter a name for your new field
• Place a checkmark in the "Use A List" check box if you wish to use a drop-down list for this field
• Choose the appropriate "Type of Data" from the drop-down list
• Click the "Add" button
• Your field will be added to the bottom of the list
• Reorder the field if you wish
• Click the "Save Changes" button when you're done
