FAQ

Can I filter and review records by one selected option?

  1. Yes. You can group or filter a Multiple Options field by one selected option.
  2. After you choose the target option, the table shows the related records that include it.
  3. This makes it easier to review the distribution of records under one tag.

Can I add a new option while filling in data?

  1. Yes. On Android, you can add an option during data entry.
  2. If the current option list does not include the value you need, add a new option directly.
  3. After that, continue filling in the current record.

What is the difference between Multiple Options and Single Option?

  1. Multiple Options lets one field keep several preset tags at the same time.
  2. Single Option allows only one value in the same field at a time.
  3. If one record needs several attributes together, Multiple Options is the better choice.

Why is mobile not ideal for bulk option editing?

  1. The Android workflow is better suited to creating, entering, and editing one field at a time.
  2. If you need to reorganize a large number of options together, the process becomes more time-consuming.
  3. For larger cleanup tasks, a desktop workflow is usually more convenient.
