4. Custom Fields

With Custom Fields, you can define your own fields for the entries, visible on the Detailed Entry Mask. With these, you can collect additional information about a story or further classify your stories.

As a Kordiam Admin, you will find the settings for this under "Settings > Custom Fields".

Currently, there are four field types available:

• Text: Can be used for shorter or longer texts and can include links.
• Single selection: Define a list with several options. For each story, one of these options can be selected. You can also define whether an empty value should be allowed, or whether the first option should apply by default.

• Multiple selection: Similar to the single selection, you can create a list of options, but then several options can be selected from it.

• Date: Add a date field to your stories. The date field can be used to sort stories on the Story List and Tasks page chronologically based on the date you specify.
• Number: Add a number field to your entries to display numerical data. It also allows for easy sorting based on the specified values.

Where are Custom Fields displayed?

On the Detailed Entry Mask:

On the Story List:

Each custom field can be displayed in a separate column on the Story List and the Tasks page. You can also group and filter by single and multiple selection fields on these pages. Sorting by single selection fields, date and number fields is also possible. Read more about the Story List and its functions here and about the Tasks page here.

Custom fields for platforms and tasks

The above mentioned field types can also be created at the platform and task level. For example, an additional note field can be added for each planned platform publication or for a specific task. Custom fields for platform publications are currently only displayed on the Detailed Entry Mask, the Story List and the Tasks page. Custom fields for tasks are only displayed on the Detailed Entry Mask and the Tasks page.
