Using Custom Fields on Samples

Updated Apr 4, 2026 Sample Library

Custom fields let you add structured metadata to your samples beyond the standard title, description, and image. Your workspace admin defines which custom fields are available, and they appear on every sample record.

Where custom fields appear

Custom fields show up on the Add Sample and Edit Sample forms, and on sample detail views. If a field is marked as required, you must fill it in before saving a sample.

Types of custom fields

Depending on what your admin has configured, you may see fields like:

  • Text – Short text input (e.g., Finish type, Material)
  • Textarea – Longer text for notes or specs
  • Number – Numeric values (e.g., MOQ, weight)
  • Select / Radio – Choose from predefined options
  • Checkbox – Yes/no toggles
  • Date – Date picker
  • File upload – Attach documents like spec sheets
  • Email / URL – Validated email or web address fields

Filling in custom fields

When creating or editing a sample, scroll down past the description to find the custom fields section. Required fields are marked and must be completed before saving.
