How to add a custom field to an object?

Enrich your data objects with tailored fields suited to your needs

Introduction

When you access a manageable object in the data model, you can view its existing fields and add new ones. System fields are defined by Qwoty and cannot be modified, but you can create your own custom fields to enrich the collected data.

✍️ Prerequisites : You must have the Admin role to access this screen.

Access

  1. In the left-side menu, click Settings
  2. In the Data section, click Data model
  3. Find the Manageable-type object to customize
  4. Click the ⋮ menu to the right of the row and select Edit

View an object's fields

The screen displays the list of all the object's fields:

  • Name : Field name
  • API Name : Technical identifier for integrations
  • Type : System (gray) or Custom (green)
  • Data type : Field format (Text, Currency, etc.)

Understanding field types

  • System : Fields created by Qwoty. They cannot be modified or deleted. These fields ensure the proper functioning of the application.
  • Custom : Fields created by you. They can be modified and deleted according to your needs.

Search for a field

Use the search bar at the top of the screen to filter the list by name.

At the bottom of the table, you can:

  • Change the number of rows displayed per page via the Rows per page menu
  • Navigate between pages using the pagination buttons
