Field name

In brief

Enter a name for the field in the space titled Field name on the field's settings page. You must make an entry, but it can be anything you like.

Details

Field names are the only way you will know what's intended to be recorded in the field, so you should make sure the name is concise and meaningful.

You don't need to include words like 'Animal's' or 'Test's' in the field name because ANY-maze will only display animal fields in pages related to animals, and test fields in pages related to tests. For example, you don't need to call a field 'Animal's gender'; just 'Gender' will be fine.

For numeric fields, you shouldn't include the units in the field name, as these are entered separately.

Limits

You can enter anything you like up to a maximum of 32 characters.
