Editing the Default Fields

System fields are Repair Pilot’s built-in fields. You can change their display labels, availability and order for supported modules without creating a separate custom field.

Before you start #

  • Decide which fields staff need to see and whether any labels should use your team’s wording.
  • Use an account with permission to manage settings.
  • Field visibility and order changes save immediately.
1

Open System Fields #

In Settings, go to Fields & Forms and choose System Fields.

System Fields with the Customers section expanded
2

Expand a module #

Open the module you want to adjust, such as Customers, Items, Jobs, Leads, Parts or Stock. Its built-in fields appear with the field name and default label.

3

Change a label or availability #

Enter an Override Label to display a different name, or leave it set to Use default label. Use the field switch to enable or disable a field. Changes save immediately.

4

Reorder fields if needed #

Drag a field by its handle to change its display order. Ordering saves immediately, so review the result before moving to another module.

What happens next #

The selected modules use the updated labels, visibility and order. These settings customise built-in fields; use Custom Fields when you need to capture new information.

Common questions #

Can I create a new field here? #

No. Use Custom Fields to add information beyond the built-in fields.

Do I need to press Save? #

No. Labels, switches and ordering save immediately.

Can I restore a built-in label? #

Clear the override so the field returns to “Use default label.”
