Depending on the industry, there arises a requirement to capture and extend information tailored to the specific needs of either the industry itself or your individual shop.

What types of Custom Fields can be defined?

As of now, the following types can be defined.

  2. Text Field: A compact area for the user to input a single line of information.
  3. Text Area: A more extensive space for the user to input a larger amount of information, typically accommodating multiple lines of text.
  4. Yes/No: A checkbox that enables the user to signify a positive or negative response when selected, typically representing "yes" or "no."
  5. Radio Button: A button that permits the user to make a single selection from multiple options.
  6. Color: A field that allows the user to choose or input a specific color, often used for visual customization or identification purposes.
