Custom Field Column

Overview

Using Custom Field Columns, you can create flexible and dynamic columns on your Home Dashboard. These columns can display various types of information, such as text, badges, notes, or data fetched from WordPress.

1. Accessing Custom Fields

1. Open the Add Column panel.

2. Click the Custom Field tab.

3. Define a new column by entering a Header Name and selecting a Template.

1.1 Template Options

Template	Description
Empty from Scratch	All fields are blank. You define Field Type, Options, and Default Value manually.
Dev / Prod	Similar to Empty from Scratch, but with pre-defined badge values for quick setup: e.g) value:label:color dev: Development : yellow prod: Production : green staging: Staging : blue
Short Note	Pre-selects Field Type as Textarea for quick note-taking setup.

2. Custom Field Inputs

When defining a custom field, you need to provide:

• Header Name – The name displayed on the dashboard column

• Saving Method – Where the data will be stored

• Field Type – How the field is displayed

• Value / Options – Default values or selectable options depending on the Field Type

2.1 Saving Method

Saving method	Description	Additional Input Fields
Local	Saves data locally in RightPlace	None, except for standard inputs (Field Type, Options, Default Value)
WordPress Option	Saves data as a WordPress option	WordPress Option Name Optional Read-Only checkbox
WordPress Filter / Action	Fetches/saves data via WordPress hooks	Filter Name (Read) Action Name (Write) Optional Read-Only checkbox

2.2 Field Type

Field Type	Description	Additional Info	Example (UI)
Text	Single-line text input	Default value can be set
Textarea	Multi-line text input	Default value can be set
Select	Dropdown selection	Define options and default value
Radio	Single-choice radio button	Define options and default value
Multiple Checkbox	Multi-choice checkboxes	Define options and default values
Badge	Colored label	Define options (label, value, color) and default value

Note: Only Select, Radio, Multiple Checkbox, and Badge require option input and default value settings.

3. Quick Setup vs Manual Setup

• Empty from Scratch – All fields must be defined manually

• Dev / Prod and Short Note – Pre-filled templates for faster setup

You can still edit options and default values after selecting a template.
