A field is a block that holds a value. Fields capture the structured data of your show — segment titles, durations, lower-third text, input numbers, and more — and they can be read and written by automation rules during a live show.

​
Field types

Text for a single line, and multiline text for longer paragraphs. Text fields can also be styled as headings (levels 1–4) to structure a page.
A number field holds an integer or decimal value — useful for input numbers, counts, and durations in seconds.
Date, date & time, and time fields. Time fields support several formats, including hours/minutes, hours/minutes/seconds, timecode with frames, and milliseconds.
A list field presents a dropdown of predefined options you configure on the field.
A boolean field is a simple yes/no toggle.
Video, image, and audio fields hold an uploaded media item. See Media assets for how upload and metadata work.

​
Configuring a field

Each field has options you can set from its configuration menu:
  • Label and placeholder text
  • A default value used when the field is created
  • List options for list fields, and a time format for time fields
  • An icon and optional foreground/background colors
  • An access mode that controls who can change the value — everyone, automation only, or nobody
If you reuse the same field configuration often, save it as a field preset so you can add a ready-made field in one click.
