Overview
The Volume Custom Field is used to input a specific measurement in either the user's units or the defined override. This can be useful for tasks that involve capturing or displaying precise design information, such as specifying the capacity of a bulk container or other features of a packaging design.
Configuration Options
The Volume Custom Field is a simple field type, as it has no Configuration Options other than the Name and Description.
- Name - The name must be unique for its Type; you can't have two String type Custom Fields named "Further Information", but you can have a String and Memo field with that name, as they're of different types. The Name can be translated into any of the Supported Languages by using the flag icon next to the field.
- Description - Optional, but useful for administrators to understand what a Custom Field is used for to help differentiate it from other similar named Custom Fields. Particularly useful where those fields are advanced fields types containing further configuration options. The Description can be translated into any of the Supported Languages by using the flag icon next to the field.
