On FieldWorker MIS, to add a dropdown list custom field

Shravan Gharat

Currently, there is no option to add a dropdown list, where you can select from multiple options. The user has to use the Text field and type in that.

Shravan Gharat What does this mean?

Shravan Gharat

FieldWorker Support Currently we only have Text, number, and date fields in FW Schema.

Could we also have a dropdown list field, and a checkbox field on FW Schema which can be enabled/disabled as needed

Shravan Gharat: Do you have any examples of such fields, and how would they be used?

Shravan Gharat

FieldWorker Support For example, Dimanche currently uses a field where they have to select from a number of pre-determined Health Insurances. Currently it is set up as a text field where they would have to enter the name of the health insurance company, but if we had a dropdown list field where they could just select the Health Insurance from the dropdown list, that would be helpful

Shravan Gharat: Where is this field used? Have they created a form?

Shravan Gharat

FieldWorker Support Yes they do use a few forms like the Patient Medication chart, caregiver report, quarterly reporting tool. However, they wanted to store the information I mentioned previously as client demographics in the overview page. Which would also make them a part of the Active client report if they need to export it.
