This opens the New Database Field Modal.

The creation of a new field will always require you to enter a field name. Include an input for the displayed label and select the field type from a dropdown menu. The inputs on the New Database Field Modal will vary based on the Field Type.

Possible field types in the database module include Form Fields, Formatting Fields, Utility Fields, or a Reference to Another Database.

A database field can only have one field type. If you need to utilize another (e.g., for formatting purposes), you can set the displayed label to be same, but the field label must be unique.

For an explanation of field types and the formatting choices associated with each one, reference the Understanding Fields Section of the Database Module in the User Manual. WIKI LINK UNDERSTANDING FIELDS

Once you are finished inputting the information for the new field, select “Save” and the new database field will show in the Field Table.

Fields can also be imported in bulk into a Database from a CSV.
