Smart Fields

Smart Fields are organization-wide fields that can be inserted into any live document, to collect data.

The data entered into Smart Fields will automatically appear in the Summary Sheet, and can be included in custom Reports.

Note: Smart fields are only available in Live editing mode, not in Word or PDF documents.

From your Document Inbox, click the lightning bolt symbol to open the Automations section.
Select Smart Fields on the left side panel.
Click + Add field.
Enter a name for the Smart field. This field name will appear as placeholder text in the field when it is inserted into documents.
Select the Smart Field type. The Text type allows any text to be entered into the field. The Number type only permits numbers (and one period for a decimal) to be entered into the field. Note that the field type cannot be changed once the Smart Field has been saved.

Note: Smart Fields can be renamed but cannot be deleted from the Smart Fields list.

Internal creators (and Administrators) granted full editing rights on a document can insert Smart Fields.
From the right-hand menu, select the Smart fields icon.
Choose the Smart Field that you would like added to the document.
Drag and drop the Smart Field into the desired location in your document.

Smart Fields can be edited by clicking them.
The right-hand panel will allow you to change the assignment, make it required or optional to fill, or remove the Smart Field.

Note: External guests with editing rights can delete a Smart field from a document, but they cannot insert Smart fields themselves.
