Product fields in EEXAR Software, lets you categorize and organize various aspects
of your Products such as Quality Assurance, Marketing, Sales, Logistics information and the like. Product fields are represented in the form of card in the Product detailed view. They are of five types.
- Text
- Number
- Dropdown
- Hyperlink
- Date
Note:
They are available for every Products in your Domain.
Text Product fields
Their value format is not restricted, they are the most wide and free types of Product fields as they can take any value, in this extent they don't have any possibility for default value.
One downside is that Internal Users with the right permissions can enter anything in these fields. They suit best to information such as descriptions, names, etc.
Number Product fields
Their
value format is restricted to numbers only, in this extent they don't
have any possibility for default value either.
One great advantage is
that they can be used inside Validation Rules and Dynamic Fields during Projects, more about this topic
here. They suit best to information such as quantities, volumes, etc.
Dropdown Product fields
Their value format is not restricted, but you have to define the choices that will be available to pick from.
One great advantage is
that you can perfectly control the data entries, but it all depends on the data you've input. They suit best to information such as true/false, limited possibilities, etc.
Hyperlink Product fields
Their value format is restricted, it has to be a link.
It has as main purpose to connect to external resources, even though we better suggest using EEXAR internal files management system, more about it
here, it can serve scenarios in which you might not find the native system good enough to address your needs.
Date Product fields
Their value format is restricted, it has to be a date.
They suit best to information such as deadlines, min/max date, etc.
