Fields


Fields are pieces of extra information that you can attach to any card. There is no restriction on how many fields can be appended. A field consists of a label and a value. However the values can have different types. A text field could be for example the phone number of a customer. Name would be then phone and value would be +359 8938 333.

Number fields are a bit special, in the sense that they try to reuse themselves among cards. If you, for example, add a number field "Time spent" to a card as a number field. The next time you try to add a number field, the "Time spent" attribute will be suggested for reuse. Another thing you can do with number fields is the editing of several cards at once. This is done by selecting several cards first (either click them or drag a selection box around cards - they will be blue if they are selected), then click and start dragging the selected cards. An option menu will appear that allows you multi-card actions. If you drop the cards now on the "edit" action, it will open a excel like popup to edit those cards simultaneously.

Date fields permit you scheduling of cards. If the date value is of the type appointment or coming up, it will also show up in the right info bar, provided the selected date is happening in the near future.

User fields can only be set, if there are project members  (invite users). The work as a personal assignment of a user to a card. Assignments can trigger a notification email.
