Defining the structure of the library

You can add, edit, delete library fields and change their order.

To add a field, select Fields tab and touch the + button. After that you will see the dialog where you can select the field type.
The data that can be entered into a field depends on its type. You can create fields of up to 19 different types.

Display in the list

Many fields have an additional important parameter: Display in the list as.
This parameter determines how the value of this field will be displayed in the list of library entries.

When you open a library, you see the list of its entries and each entry consists of three areas:

Thumb
(4)
Name(1)
Description(2)
Status
(3)
  • The values of fields with the Entry name option are displayed in 1.
  • The values of fields with the Entry description option are displayed in 2.
  • The values of fields with the Entry status option are displayed in 3.
  • Thumbnail (4) is only for fields of type "Image".
The values of fields with the Regular field option are not displayed in the entry list and you can see them only on the entry card.

Mass Calculations

You can add simple mass functions to the library. The added function will be performed over the values of a certain field for all the records of the library.
To add a function, select Aggregation tab and click the + button.
You can select one of the four functions, each of which can be applied to just certain types of fields:
  • Sum – available to numeric fields and time.
  • Maximum and minimum – available to numeric fields, time and date.
  • Average – available to numeric fields and time.

Fields can be edited quickly

The values of certain types of fields can be changed directly from the entry list, tables or maps.
The option Where you can edit that is located on the Options screen of the field defines the area where the value of this field can be changed.
Quick editing is supported for the following types of fields: Checkbox , Single-choice list, Multiple-choice list.

Entry color

Each value of the Single-choice list field can be associated with a particular color. For a library, a field is selected (edit library > facade> color of entry). The entry color will depend on this field.
The entry color is used to mark entries in lists and tables.
This color is also used to color entry markers on a map and the corresponding entries of time intervals in the calendar.
