Custom Number Fields

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.

About custom number fields

A custom number field receives numerical input.

  • Set Pre/Postfix text to display before or after the numeric value.
  • Set the number of decimals to round the value to.
  • Each custom number field is shown in its own column in Table view.
  • The sum of the number field for the selected date range is shown in the footer row in Table view.
  • Number field contents can be displayed beside the event title.

Use cases for number fields

  • Show the walking distance for tourism or community events.
  • List the price of scheduled workshops.
  • Track the weight for each delivery load.
  • Assign a number of pages or questions.
  • Track word count or exercise reps.
  • Track the estimated hours for a job.
