Adding & managing fields

Fields are the columns of your card. You can add, edit, reorder, and remove fields at any time.

Add a field

  1. Open the card in grid view.
  2. Click the + button at the right end of the column header row.
  3. Enter a field name.
  4. Choose a field type.
  5. Optionally add a description (shown as a tooltip on the column header; also used by AI to generate metadata).
  6. Click Save field.

Field types

Type Description
Text Free-form text
Number Integer or decimal values
Date Date picker
Boolean True / false checkbox
Single select Pick one option from a list
Multi-select Pick multiple options from a list
Email Email address
URL Web link
Attachment File upload
Map point GPS coordinates with OpenStreetMap picker
Formula Computed value derived from other fields

Edit a field

  1. Click the field name in the column header.
  2. Modify the name, description, or options.
  3. Click Save.

Changing field type

Changing a field's type may cause data loss. For example, changing a Number field to Text is safe, but changing Text to Number will clear any values that aren't valid numbers. Stackify shows a warning before applying the change.

Reorder fields

Drag a column header left or right to change the field order. The new order is saved immediately.

Delete a field

  1. Click the field name in the column header.
  2. Click Delete field.
  3. Confirm the deletion.

Warning

Deleting a field permanently removes the field and all its data from every record. This cannot be undone.

Formula fields

Formula fields compute a value from other fields in the same record. Click the Formula type when adding a field and enter your expression, e.g.:

[Unit price] * [Quantity]

Formula fields are read-only — their values update automatically when the referenced fields change.

Map point fields

Map point fields store a GPS coordinate (latitude and longitude). When editing a record:

  1. Click the map point cell.
  2. A map picker opens — click on the map to set the location.
  3. The coordinates are saved automatically.

Cards with at least one map point field show a Map view button in the toolbar, which renders all coordinates as pins on a full-screen map.
