How To Make Custom Fields Show Up on Invoices and Quotes 

*Versions 2019-3 and Newer
  • Custom Fields are segregated by their associated table, within separate tabs at the top of the page.
  • You can sort the display order of the fields by dragging and dropping a field's row into the proper location.
  • Tip: If you make a mistake in changing the Field Meta JSON value, you can reset it by selecting a different field type (like Text), then reselecting the original field type you were working with.
  • Custom Field Types and Uses:
    • Text: A regular text field, allowing for a max of 255 characters.
    • Dropdown: Displays a list of possible values and allows a single choice from the list. The list is defined as JSON text within the the Field Meta.
    • Textarea: A large area of text, perfect for detailed notes. You can specify the number of rows displayed by changing the default in the Field Meta JSON entry.
    • Checkbox: Displays a graphical check box to signify a single yes or no answer.
    • Radio: Similar to a Dropdown, but this control displays all of your options on screen, without having to expand a list. It allows for a single item to be selected.
    • Date: A simple date entry control. The format can be editing within the JSON text.
    • Integer: Allows entry of whole numbers.
    • URL: A website address. When the page displayed is in View mode, clicking the link will navigate to the address.
    • Email: An email address. When the page displayed is in View mode, clicking the link will navigate to your default email client and begin a new email.
    • Phone: A field for phone number entry. The format is your choice.
    • Tag Selection: Allows you to define a list of selectable text "tags" to choose from, allowing you to select multiple values. It should be noted that Tag Selection within Custom Fields does not allow for ad-hoc tag creation at the time of data entry. Tags must be predefined within the Custom Field JSON definition.
    • DateTime: A simple date time control with an editable format.
    • Currency: A basic currency field, allowing you to define the currency symbol.
    • Decimal: Similar to Integer, but allows for values after the decimal point.
    • Image: Allows for the selection and display of an image (JPG, PNG, etc.)\
