Fields

How to create a new Field

To save data in the collection, you need a form, which is composed of fields (columns of a table). Fields are the columns of the table. In this documentation, we will refer column as a field, so keep it in mind whenever you encounter this word.

To create a field, follow these steps: -

1. On navigation, under Configure, click on Fields. You will see a list of all the fields belonging to different collections.

2. Click on the settings icon in the top left corner, and then click new or click on the ‘+’ icon on the top left corner of the table.

3. A form appears where you have to provide the following details: -

4. Name – name of the field.

5. Collection – name of the collection to which this field belongs.

6. Section – name of the section in the form to which this field belongs.

7. Label – display label (display name) of the field.

8. Input Type – What type of value this field will save (Text, Option, Number, Reference, ` Checkbox etc.)

9. Refer Collection – If the Input type is Reference, then the refer collection should be the name of the collection it is referring to.

10. Click on the ‘create’ button. That’s it, you have created a Field.
