Field Types

When you create a field in Asset Management, you must choose a field type. Each field type controls how data is entered, validated, and displayed. Selecting the correct field type ensures metadata is captured accurately and consistently across your assets.

This document explains the available field types, their use cases, and the properties you can configure.

  • Single Line Textbox: Designed for short text values, e.g., product SKU, author name, or campaign code.
  • Multi Line Textbox: Captures longer text entries, e.g., description, usage notes, or legal terms.
  • Link: Stores URLs, such as a reference to an external product page, license agreement, or a hosted video.
  • Select: Provides predefined options for controlled choices, e.g., region (North America, Europe, Asia) or image angle (Front, Back, Side).
  • Number: Records numerical values, e.g., DPI, duration (seconds), or model version.
  • Date: Tracks date-specific information, e.g., shoot date, license expiration, or release date.
  • Boolean: Represents true/false or yes/no conditions, e.g., model release obtained or is_featured.
  • Group: Bundles related fields into a single logical unit, e.g., Image Properties (with resolution, color profile, and DPI).

Choosing the right field type ensures that metadata is accurate, reusable, and easy to manage.

NoteCurrently, we support single line, number, and group fields. Rest of the fields will be available soon.
