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

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 "Music"), Owlect suggests fields that make sense for that type. For example:

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

Music gets 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.
