Tips for creating columns in iSheets

Below are some tips to keep in mind when creating columns:

  • If possible, keep the number of columns in an iSheet to 50 or less.
  • The column name acts as a label for the column. Although column names can be virtually any length, if they are too long you will need to: 
    • vary the column width to accommodate the length of the column name, or
    • be aware that part of the column name may not display

As an alternative to long column names, give each column a short name and enter a column description to provide context for users filling in iSheet items:

  • Get the column type correct during creation. With only one exception (changing a single line text to multiple line text), column types may not be changed after a column has been created
  • If you would like a column to have a default value, set that default value when you first create a new column. The value will be automatically populated as items are added
