Custom Fields

Add your own special fields to track exactly what matters to you.

What are custom fields?

Every collection comes with a name field and a photo. But you probably want to track more details — like the condition of an item, when you bought it, or how much it cost.

That is what custom fields are for! You can add up to **10 custom fields** to each collection.

Types of fields

Here are all the field types you can use:

Text — For short text like brand, color, or notes

Number — For numbers like price, year, or quantity

Select — A dropdown list where you pick one option (like "Condition: Mint / Good / Fair")

Multi-select — Pick several options at once (like tags or categories)

Date — A calendar picker for dates

Link — A web address (URL) that you can click

Rating — A star rating from 1 to 5

Checkbox — A yes/no toggle (like "Signed" or "Complete in box")

Color — A color picker

How to add custom fields

1Open your collection

2Go to **Edit Collection**

3Scroll down to the **Fields** section

4Tap **"Add Field"**

5Give the field a name and pick a type

6For Select fields, type in your options (up to 30)

7Save the collection

Ready-made fields

When you create a collection with a specific type (like "Board Games" or "Vinyl Records"), Owlect suggests fields that make sense for that type. For example:

Board Games — get fields for player count, play time, and game type

Vinyl Records — get fields for artist, album, genre, and label

Coins — get a field for country and year

You can keep these suggested fields, remove the ones you don't need, or add your own!

Tips

You can rename or remove a field at any time by editing the collection. But be careful — removing a field also removes that data from all items in the collection.
