Field Limit

Field Limit

Orchestly allows users to create custom fields within a specific limit. This limit applies to the organizational level, wherein the field count is calculated for all the layouts and blueprints used in the entire organization.

Reuse fields in Orchestly

Once a custom field is created in Orchestly, the same can be reused too. 

  1. Fields can be reused across layouts.
    1. For example, when you create and use a new field in Layout A, the same field will be added to the ‘Available Fields’ section of other layouts. You can drag and drop the new field from this section and reuse it in other layouts.
  2. Field properties are independent in each layout.
    1. For instance, if a text field is made mandatory in Layout A, it can be made non-mandatory in Layout B. 
  3. Field titles remain the same across layouts but field labels can be customized.
    1. For example, when a field titled ‘Name’ is labelled ‘Customer Name’ in Layout A, the same field can be reused and labelled ‘Vendor Name’ in Layout B.

Unique field labels and properties help in maintaining the context of reused fields in different layouts.

Do note that, if the total field limit in Orchestly sums up to 260 fields, you can use as much as 260 fields in each layout by reusing it. 
So, in case you build 10 layouts, and reuse 260 fields in each layout, you’d have actually used 2600 fields! If you still require help, please reach out to support@orchestly.com
