How to Configure Field Display in Custom Data?

Configuring field display allows making the data work interface more convenient and informative. You can configure name, icon, color, and other display parameters for each model field.

When Needed

  • You need to change the field name displayed in the interface.
  • You need to add an icon and color for better visual field identification.
  • You need to configure editability or uniqueness of values.

What's Important to Know

  • Field Name — text displayed in the interface (may differ from the technical name).
  • Icon and Color — visual elements for field identification.
  • Editability — whether the field value can be changed after record creation.
  • Uniqueness — whether the same values can exist in different records.
  • Default Value — value automatically set when creating a new record.

Prerequisites

  • You are logged in with integrator or administrator rights.
  • You have navigated to the Custom Data module via Apps -> Custom Data.
  • You have a created data model or are creating a new one.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. In the Custom Data module, go to the "Create/Update" tab.
  2. Select a model for editing or create a new model.
  3. Find the field for which you need to configure display, or add a new field.
  4. In field settings, fill in display parameters:
    • Field Name — enter the name that will be displayed in the interface
    • Icon — select an icon from the list of available icons
    • Icon Color — select a color for the icon
    • Editability — enable or disable the ability to change the value
    • Uniqueness — enable if the field value must be unique
    • Default Value — enter the value that will be automatically set (optional)
  5. Save changes in the model.

What Happens After

Display settings are saved in the model and applied when viewing and editing records. Fields display with specified names, icons, and colors in the Custom Data interface.

How to Verify It Worked

  • Check that the field name displays correctly in the records table.
  • Make sure the icon and color display correctly.
  • Create a test record and check that settings work as expected.
