Once a field has been added to a DET, there are some other additional customisations you can use to get the most out of your data entry.
Changing the Maximum Length of a Field
Open the Field settings page (either from the DET or the ‘Report Fields’ tab of the Templates page)
Find the 'Maximum Field Value Length' section, proceed to change the value according to your requirements.
After modifying the value, make sure to save your changes.
Creating a Dropdown Menu
A dropdown menu can be used to quickly select from a number of predetermined options for a specific field.
The dropdown menu uses the same options as the ‘Field Lookup Options’ - read more about lookup options and adding values [here]
To add a dropdown to a specific field:
Open the Field settings window
Under ‘Field Type’, choose ‘Select Enabled'
Scroll down to find the Manage Lookup Options for this Field button to add any other lookup options for this field.
