Add a Field

 

You can add Fields (Checks) to any of the existing default Sections as well as ones you have created yourself.

 

From the Template Editor - found under Settings>Organisation/Federation>Templates>Edit

 

Single-click the Section that you want to add the Field to - you will see the Fields that already exist in that Section in the Section Fields area to the right. Next, drag the type of input you would like from the Field Library and place it where you would like it. You can always move it afterwards, and everything you do is in Draft mode until you publish:

 

 


 

Types of Fields

 

There are 9 types of fields you can add, some are for entry and will store a value against a profile, and some are decorative.

 

Entry Fields

 

Text Box: The most common, a single line of text entry, such as a name or phone number.

Text Area: This is a multi-line text entry, allowing for extra information. Useful for notes or extra details.

Number: This will only allow numbers.

Single Select: Use this when you want to provide a list of items to select from. If you remove items, don't worry, the values won't be deleted.

Date Picker: Allows you to pick a date, such as the date of birth or when something is due like a training date or DBS check.

Toggle: This is simply a switch to signify a Yes/No or True/False. An example would be if a check is complete, or if a Section is required.

 

Decorative Fields

 

Label: This is just a piece of text, that you can use to provide some additional information to the user.

Title: This is the same as a label but in Bold Font

Separator: This will show a horizontal line which can be useful to help break up fields into groups.

 


 

Once you have added your Field, then the Field Editor will appear. Please see our guide on Editing Fields
