Configure object free fields

Add custom object fields for industry-specific data.

Free fields let you store extra object information that standard fields do not cover.

This helps you adapt Object Management to your own process.

When to use free fields

Use free fields for data such as:

• certification numbers
• installation notes
• technical ratings
• customer-specific asset data

1

Open the object setup

Go to the object form or the free field settings in the BackOffice.

2

Choose the object fields you want to use

Decide which fields need a custom label or custom purpose.

3

Create or rename the fields

Set a clear field name.

Choose the right type where available.

4

Set rules

Decide whether the field is optional, required, or shown in the app.

5

Save and test

Save the settings.

Then open an object and check that the field behaves as expected.

Good setup practices

• use labels technicians understand
• avoid duplicate fields with similar meaning
• keep required fields limited to what really matters

Frequently asked questions

Are free fields visible in the app?

That depends on your app settings and configuration.

Can I make free fields required?

Yes, if that option is available in your setup.

Should I create many free fields at once?

Start with the fields you use often.

Then expand only when needed.
