# Every detail you keep, on the record it belongs to.

Add the details your business tracks to any kind of record, built in or your own. Each one has a kind, so a date is a date, an amount carries its currency and a choice comes from a list you set.

## Eighteen kinds of value.

The kind decides how a value is typed in, shown, sorted and added up, the same in every list, on every record and for the Agent.

- **Text.** A name, a code, a short note.
- **Long text.** A description that runs to paragraphs.
- **Number.** Hours, a count, a measure.
- **Currency.** An amount with its currency.
- **Date.** A day, such as the next visit.
- **Date & time.** A moment, to the minute.
- **Select.** One or several choices from your list, each with its colour.
- **Checkbox.** Yes or no.
- **URL.** A link that opens.
- **Email.** An address you can write to.
- **Phone.** A number you can call.
- **Identifier.** A registration or tax number in its country's format.
- **Address.** A place, line by line.
- **Files.** Documents and pictures kept on the record.
- **User.** A person in your organization.
- **Record reference.** Another record, such as the customer of a visit.
- **Formula.** Worked out from the rest of the record.
- **Rollup.** Worked out from the records linked to it.

## Set up once. Read the same everywhere.

- **Required.** A record is not saved without it.
- **Multiple values.** A select that holds several choices at once.
- **Groups.** Related properties stand together on the record.
- **A description.** What the property means and how to fill it, for your team and for the Agent.

Up to 200 properties of your own on each kind of record.

## Change a property's kind later, and keep every value.

Ask the Agent to turn a text into a number or a date. It works out each value first and shows what converts, what would be left empty and what does not fit, then makes the change and keeps the old property, with all its values, in the archive.

> Turn Hours on service visits into a number, and show me what changes first.
