Improving the Presentation of Field Data Points in Forms Within OpenAir
Improving the presentation of field data points in forms within OpenAir is easier with Tag custom fields. For left-minded individuals, or for those who consume information faster visually, you can create Tags in forms whereby list views and reports will format cells with color schemes. This helps allow key metrics to “pop” and support your business initiatives.
To create a Tag, navigate to Administration > Global Settings > Custom Fields : Custom fields and create a new Custom field. Select the “Tag” field type, where you may define tags using the “Modify” button.
