Teamup supports configurable default event fields and custom event fields. Number fields are a type of custom field. This unique feature allows users to enter a numerical value and get a sum in the Table view. It’s a great way to capture and highlight important numerical information.

- Each custom number field is shown in its own column in Table view.
