Overview¶

This page explains how to add a field to an entry form.

Adding a Field¶

1. Select the 'Utilities' tab in the ShowBiz main screen toolbar and scroll down to Entries> Entry forms setup. The following window will be presented:














































2. Select the form you want to add a field to from the table and press the Edit button. You will be presented with a new screen.

3. Select the the Form Fields tab in the header.




















































4. Select 'New Field' beneath the table shown which will clear the field details area ready for you to enter in the details of your new field.

5. In the drop down bar beside 'Standard Field' select (Note: If you do not do this the new field will fail to save).

Field Name - The name of the field as it is to be displayed on the form.

Default Value - If the field will have a default value, put it in here.

Mandatory - Determines if the field must be filled in or can be skipped.

Field Type - What type of information is stored in the field - text, a number, a date, or a list. Note if list is selected then the list manager button can be used to set up the list.

Display Order - The display order determines where on the form the field will be displayed. We recommend using 10, 20, 30 etc so that you have gaps to insert extra fields later.

Force Case - Does the field have to be in UPPER CASE, lower case or Proper Case?

Standard Field - If this field needs to appear in the schedule/catalogue then you must tell Showbiz what this field "means". So if for example you had created a field called "Name of Pig", select "Animal Name" in here.

HOYS Field - If this is a HOYS entry form, then you can tell showbiz what the field "means" from a HOYS perspective. So if you had created a field called "The name of the animal being entered", you need to select "Horse/Pony Name" from this list. This only needs to be done for HOYS entry forms.





6. Press to Save Field (a small window will appear saying Field Saved- press ok) and what you have just entered will now be displayed in the form fields table.
