Items

An item is a single entry in a collection — one book, one coin, one board game. Each item holds values for the fields its collection defines.

Adding an item

From a collection's view, choose to add an item. The item editor shows one input per field, using the editor for each field type — a text box for text, a date picker for dates, a star control for ratings, an image picker for images, and so on. Fields are arranged by the collection's field groups.

Editing and deleting

Open an item to edit its values or delete it. Edits save immediately and are attributed to the current profile.

How items appear in lists

In the list view, each item is labelled by its display name field. Other fields render in a compact, type-aware way: currency shows its symbol, percentages show %, tags show as chips, colours show a swatch.

Tips

• The fields you can fill in are set by the collection, not the item. To add a property to every item, add a field in the collection editor.
• Use the List field type when one item needs a repeating sub-list — the tracks on an album, each with its own sub-fields.
