Add Fields

Add fields after creating a database.

​

Open The Schema Editor

1. Open CMS.
2. Go to Databases.
3. Open the row menu for the database.
4. Click Edit Schema.
5. Click Add Field.

​

Choose The Field Type

Choose the field type that best matches the content editors will enter. Good examples:

• Use Text Input for names, slugs, URLs, emails, and short labels.
• Use Text Area or Rich Text for longer body content.
• Use Image for one or more images from Drive.
• Use Dropdown, Radio, or Checkbox when editors must choose from known options.
• Use Date or Date & Time for scheduled or time-based content.
• Use Relation fields when an entry should point to another CMS table or supported system table.
• Use Map Point for a saved location.

​

Fill The Schema Tab

Add:

1. Field key.
2. Data type when editable.
3. Label.
4. Helper text when the field needs guidance.
5. Placeholder when it helps editors understand the expected value.
6. Default value when new entries should start with a value.

Turn on Required for values that must be filled before saving. Turn on Localization when the field value should be entered per language.

​

Configure The Field Tab

Use the field-specific settings to control input behavior. For example, add select options for dropdowns, file limits for media fields, number limits for numeric fields, and a target table for relation fields.

​

Arrange The Form

Use the Interface tab to group related fields. For large tables, use tabs and sections. For compact tables, field widths and dividers may be enough.

​

Save And Test

After creating fields, open the table entry list and click Add Entry. Check that:

• Required fields are clear.
• Labels and helper text make sense.
• Localized fields show language tabs.
• Relation fields show useful option labels.
• The table list displays the columns staff need most.
